    Final word:
    Guests came as favorites to Khabarovsk. However – their last game vs. Admiral announced their form after 10 days break isn't particularly good. They did enter the game in great style and took the lead early, but home team proved tough nut to crack. they scored three times inside first 20 minutes to give guests something to work for. Ak Bars scored in second period and trailed by one before final 20 minutes. Pressure was expected from them right from the start and it indeed happened. However, they couldn't score. Home team did. they actually scored twice in 48th minute and that did it for today. Ak bars came closer in 55th minute, but got another puck in their empty net several seconds before final buzzer. Well deserved win for Amur.
