Metallurg Novokuznetsk
0:2 (0:0,0:2, 0:0)
Vityaz Podolsk
Wednesday 13.11.2013, 13:00 • Kuznetsk Metallurgists Sports Palace (capacity: 7,533) • KHL
     
    Final word: Metallurg tried to break through Vityaz defense with high pace. Not often one of forwards is player in tem with the most time on ice, but this was exactly the case today for Metallurg. They produced many shots, but were unable to beat Ivan Lisutin, Vityaz netminder. On the other side, guests weren't any special today, but they defended clever and used what was offered to them. Poor game overall in half-empty Kuznetsk Metallurg Sports palace.
    Eurolivescores player of the game – Ivan Lisutin (Vityaz) (15:24:11)
