Avangard Omsk suffered their first defeat of the season after losing to Amur Khabarovsk in a thrilling shootout in front of a packed home crowd. Despite Avangard's early dominance and a two-goal lead, Amur fought back to force overtime and eventually secured the win in the shootout.

The game started well for Avangard, with Ilya Reinhardt opening the scoring just one minute into the match. Avangard continued to control the play throughout the first period, and at 12:00, they doubled their lead when Darren Dietz scored on the power play, assisted by Alexey Makeyev.

Amur struggled early on, managing only three shots on goal in the opening period. The second period saw a shift in momentum as Amur regrouped, with Devin Brosseau coming close, hitting the post early.
