Friday 03.01.2014, 12:00 • Ufa Arena • KHL
     
    Dinamo rallied coming from three goals down to eventually take the game into overtime, but in the end Salavat got what they probably just deserved with Nikita Filatov's winner just under two minutes before the end of the additional five minutes. They get the two points, where as Dinamo leave Ufa with one point. We've seen a great game from start to finish today, and keep an eye out on our site for more KHL hockey action! Thanks for following this game with us, until next time. (14:26:02)
