KHL Day 177 2013-2014

Two games on today, a relief compared to yesterday's busy schedule. We begin in...

Khabarovsk, as Amur hosts Sibir Novosibirsk. Nikita Bespalov and Alexei Murygin are in the blue paint. Novosibirsk was first to score in the first period with a Sergei Shumakov shorthanded goal, going in unassisted. Khabarovsk tied it in the second period on a power play goal by Ilya Krikunov, powered by Mikhail Fisenko and Mikhail Klimchuk. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Sibir got goals from Alexei Kopeikin and Vyacheslav Belov to top a lone tally by Dmitry Tarasov for a 2-1 win. The three stars were Bespalov (27 for 28 in saves), Belov, and Murygin (39 for 40 in saves).

The other game comes from Vladivostok, as Admiral hosts Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Ilya Sorokin and Evgeny Ivannikov are set to start. Novokuznetsk struck first in the first period with a Semyon Valuisky goal, passed from Kurtis McLean. Vladivostok tied in the second period with a Felix Schutz power play goal, powered by Richard Gynge. Admiral took the lead with another Schutz goal, his second of the game, set up by Gynge on the power play. Vladivostok added on with a Gynge goal, assisted by Niclas Bergfors and Yegor Antropov. This was good for a 3-1 win, with Schutz, Gynge, and Ivannikov (31 for 32 in saves) getting the three stars.
