KHL Day 97 2013-2014

There are just two games on today before the schedule starts going into extreme oscillation to close the week. The first is from...

Kazan, as Ak Bars hosts Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Georgy Gelashvili and Konstantin Barulin are the masked men. Kazan led off in the first period on a Shaun Heshka power play goal, powered by Tim Stapleton and Alexander Burmistrov. Ak Bars added on in the second period as Evgeny Medvedev scored, thanks to Stapleton. Nizhny Novgorod got on the board in the third period as Sakari Salminen scored a power play goal, assisted by Juuso Hietanen and Pavel Valentenko. This was as close as it got, with the final being 2-1, and the three stars belonged to Barulin (34 for 35 in saves), Stapleton, and Medvedev.

The other game comes from Bratislava, where Slovan plays a rare back-to-back by hosting Atlant Mytishchi. Stanislav Galimov and Jaroslav Janus guard the cages. Bratislava began in the first period with a Milan Bartovic power play goal, powered by Libor Hudacek and Vladimir Mihalik. Mytishchi tied it on a Rafael Batyrshin goal, fueled by Mikhail Glukhov and Konstantin Koltsov. Atlant won 2-1 as Igor Radulov scored the only goal in the shootout. The three stars were Galimov (38 for 39 in saves), Batyrshin, and Radulov.
