KHL Day 179 2013-2014

Two games on, technically starting yesterday based on my location. We begin in...

Khabarovsk, as Amur hosts Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Nikita Lozhkin and Alexei Murygin are in the blue paint. Novokuznetsk was first to score in the first period with an Evgeny Lapenkov goal, via Semyon Valuisky. Metallurg added on with a Pavel Kanarsky power play goal, powered by Denis Kurepanov and Anton Kapotov. Khabarovsk got on the board in the second period as Ilya Krikunov scored, thanks to Mikhail Fisenko and Dmitry Bykov. Novokuznetsk replied with an Alexander Aksyonenko goal, coming off of Nikolai Skladnichenko. Metallurg extended the lead with a Valuisky goal, assisted by Raymond Giroux and Lapenkov. Amur got one back in the third period on a Dmitry Lugin goal, with a lone assist from Alexander Yunkov. Novokuznetsk answered with a Damir Zhafyrov goal, going in unassisted. Metallurg padded the lead on a Sergei Yemelin goal, guided in by Artyom Gareyev. Novokuznetsk finished it at 7-2 with a Tuukka Mantyla shorthanded goal, set up by Zhafyarov. The three stars were Lapenkov, Valuisky, and Zhafyarov.

The other game is in Vladivostok, as Admiral hosts Sibir Novosibirsk. Mikko Koskinen and Evgeny Ivannikov are the masked men. Novosibirsk struck first in the first period on an Alexei Kopeikin goal, assisted by Dmitry Kugryshev. Vladivostok tied it in the second period with a Felix Schutz goal, made possible by Niclas Bergfors and Evgeny Grachyov. Admiral took the lead on an Ilya Zubov goal, fueled by Igor Bortnikov and Justin Hodgman. Vladivostok iced it at 3-1 in the third period on a Logan Pyett empty net goal, going in unassisted. The three stars were handed to Ivannikov (20 for 21 in saves), Zubov, and Schutz.
