3:2 (0:0, 1:2, 1:0)

Barys Nur-Sultan

Sunday 05.01.2014, 14:30 • Arena Balashiha • KHL

		What a simply stunning match! Both teams played attack minded hockey from start to finish and it's made for a really great game in a match that promised goals. Despite dominating the first period Dynamo couldn't score, but did eventually in the second with a shorthanded goal from Maxim Pestushko. Dustin Boyd and Talgat Zhailauov suddenly turned the tables and it took a late Dmitriy Pestunov goal to take it to overtime, where Marek Kvapil was the hero for the Muscovites. Dynamo take 2 points with the win, whereas Barys don't leave empty handed with one point to show for their efforts. Thank you for following our KHL coverage today, see you tomorrow! (17:13:28)
