    Not a great game, a very hard fight and an important one-goal-victory for Yugra today against Avangard Omsk. The first period decided the match with two home goals. In the second Avangard played better but scored only once, and that wasn't enough. The last period was fairly balanced without any great chances, Yugra defended very well, and got this victory in the end.
