KHL Western Conference Quarterfinals Day 7 2014

This is it for the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Two games decide who makes it to the semifinals and who goes home. We begin in...

Moscow, as Dynamo hosts Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Curtis Sanford and Alexander Yeryomenko are the masked men. Yaroslavl opened in the first period with an unassisted goal by Alexander Chernikov. Lokomotiv added on with a Geoff Platt goal, coming off of Mikelis Redlihs and Janis Sprukts. Moscow got on the board in the second period on a Leo Komarov goal, passed from Konstantin Gorovikov. Yaroslavl replied in the third period with a goal by Sergei Konkov, going in unassisted. Lokomotiv extended the lead with an unassisted power play goal from Konkov. Yaroslavl finished it at 5-1 with a Yegor Averin goal, with a lone assist by Sergei Plotnikov. The three stars were Konkov, Sanford (31 for 32 in saves), and Platt. Lokomotiv ousts Dynamo 4-3 in the series, completing an unlikely upset.

The other game comes from Bratislava, where Donbass Donetsk hosts Dinamo Riga. The game is being played in Slovakia due to security concerns in Ukraine. Jakub Sedlacek and Jan Laco are in goal. Donetsk started in the first period with an Evgeny Dadonov power play goal, powered by Maxim Yakutsenya. Donbass added on as Teemu Laine scored, thanks to Clay Wilson. Riga got on the board with a Gints Meija goal, with a lone assist by Maris Bicevskis. Donetsk replied in the third period on a Dadonov goal, fueled by Yakutsenya and Ruslen Fedotenko. This was good for a 3-1 win. The three stars were awarded to Dadonov, Laco (24 for 25 in saves), and Yakutsenya. Donbass wins the series 4-3 and advances to the semifinals against Lev.
