    Not a great one, but an important victory for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in Novokuznetsk. The home team scored the first goal of the game in the 8th minute, but before the end of the 1st period Apalkov equalized it, and by the end of the 2nd period Platt decided the game with a shot from the left side. In the last period Metallurg tried to attack vainly, the defense of Lokomotiv standed solid today.
