KHL Western Conference Quarterfinals Day 5 2014

Two games on today, beginning in...

Moscow, as Dynamo hosts Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Curtis Sanford and Alexander Yeryomenko tend the twines. It took until the second overtime for a goal to be scored, and it came from Konstantin Volkov of Moscow, via Yury Babenko and Denis Kokarev. This made it a 1-0 final, with Yeryomenko (33 save shutout), Volkov, and Sanford (40 for 41 in saves) earning the three stars. Dynamo will look to finish the series on Saturday, currently holding a 3-2 series lead.

Out in Ukraine, Donbass Donetsk hosts Dinamo Riga. Jakub Sedlacek and Jan Laco make the starts. Riga started in the first period with a Gints Meija power play goal, powered by Lauris Darzins. Dinamo added on in the second period as Darzins scored, thanks to Sandis Ozolins and Paul Szczechura. Donetsk got on the board with a Tuomas Kiiskinen goal, guided in by Petteri Wirtanen and Teemu Laine on the power play. They failed to tie it, losing 2-1, with the three stars being Darzins, Sedlacek (35 for 36 in saves), and Meija. Donbass still has a 3-2 series lead.
