Admiral opened home season
28 Sep 2013 | Alan Ilijic
Admiral opened the home KHL season with a historic win over CSKA, Amur takes first regulation points and SKA victorious in Moscow. All that and more in Sept. 27th KHL roundup.
Artemy
Panarin stroke twice and added an assist in SKA's road victory over the
reigning champions Dynamo Moscow. Evgeny Skachkov and Maxim Chudinov stroke
twice early in the first to shake the hosts. Midway through the period it's 0:2
SKA, but Leo Komarov gets the game level in the second. First he racked up the
pass from Janne Jalasvaara who found him left alone at the post, and at 35:17
the game was tied.
That
was all Dynamo could acomplish, Artemy Panarin added two for SKA at 41:03 and
44:19 while Anton Malyshev and Patrick Thoresen sealed the deal for the final
6:2 SKA win.
Biggest
KHL and SKA star, Ilya Kovalchuk, was left pointless.
Admiral
triumphant opening the home arena
First
time ever Admiral players hit the ice in their home arena and the home fans
could finally see their knights. And they had something to see! Viktor Drugov
brought the home side in the lead at 18:36, but in a span of 11 seconds at the
beginning of the second period Enver Lisin doubles, while Drugov brings his
second home to give the host 3:0 edge over their rivals.
Nikolay
Prokhorkin brought back hope for CSKA lighting the lamo in Ilya Zubov's assist
who added a goal in the end as a consolidation for the Muscovians whereas Denis
Osipov ensured the win at 32:35.
Amur
at last
Amur
finally got their first regulation points. And they made it against super
powerful Latvian side. In a high-paced, extremely interesting game, Amur took
the lead with Jakub Petruzalek scoring early at 3:37. Macel Hossa levels the
sides at 29:12, but then at 46:04 Denis Yezhov fires a blast from the blue to
ensure Amur get away with a win.
Around
the rinks
Lev
Prague wins on the road in Novokuznetsk with Martin Sevc and Niko Kapanen both
scoring twice to get their team a valuable 5:3 win.
Sibir
struck twice in the third to earn 3:1, Jori Lehtera scoring the game winner.
Neftekhimik
five-game winning streak comes to an end in Ufa as Anton Babchuk scores the
game-winning goal for the home side in a 2:1 victory.
Lokomotiv
was hit by 5 torpedoes in Nizhny Novgorod as the home side snap a 5:0 shutout
win. Bars Kazan win at home facing Severstal harder than expected, 1:0.
