Moscow got on the board in the third period with a Pavel Medvedev goal, coming off of Vladimir Peshekhonov. Spartak tied it late on an Oleg Kvasha goal, via Viktor Bobrov. The tie was broken in favor of Donetsk in overtime when Maxim Yakutsenya scored to make it 3-2, thanks to Peter Podhradsky on the power play. The three stars went to Yakutsenya, Dadonov, and Kagarlitsky.

The other game comes from Zagreb, as Medvescak hosts Dinamo Minsk. Kevin Lalande and Barry Brust get the starting nods. Minsk started in the first period with an Andrei Stas goal, going in unassisted. Zagreb tied it in the second period as Jonathan Cheechoo scored, thanks to Charles Linglet and Sasa Martinovic.
