    It's Salavat Yulaev's day with an in the end comfortable 5-2 victory over CSKA Moscow! And overall, they just deserve it. Right at the end of the first period Antii Pihlstrom cancelled out an early Denis Denisov effort, but after Alexander Radulov again put CSKA ahead, late period goals from Andrey Zubarev and Igor Mirnov gave the hosts the advantage. In the third period CSKA failed to create much and a double from Denis Khlystov finished this one off. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me in a few minutes for Dynamo Moscow against Barys Astana! (14:19:24)
