Thursday 26.12.2013, 13:00 • Omsk Arena • KHL
     
    Amur have run out of time, it's a 3-2 victory for Avangard! The Omsk outfit dominated for long periods today and fully deserve their victory. They took the lead through Denis Kulyash before Yan Mursak replied for Amur. Stefan Ruzicka put the home team ahead again before Mikhail Klimchuk pegged Avangard back for the second time, but the guests couldn't reply to Maxim Goncharov's third period goal. Thanks for following the game here with us, and join me in just over an hour for Atlant versus Salavat Yulaev! (15:17:59)
