KHL January 23 and 24, 2015

It's the same game two days in a row for the KHL leading into the All-Star Break. Admiral Vladivostok hosts Metallurg Novokuznetsk two days in a row. The goalies on Friday are Rafael Khakimov and Ivan Nalimov. Novokuznetsk began in the first period on a Nikita Popov power play goal, powered by Vadim Mitryakov and Ryan Stoa. Vladivostok tied it in the third period as Andrei Sigaryov scored, thanks to Alexander Goroshansky. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Artyom Garifullin and Stoa scored to lift Metallurg to a 2-1 win. The three stars went to Stoa, Khakimov (45 for 46 in saves), and Popov.

On Saturday, Khakimov and Nalimov returned to the creases for the second game in the back-to-back. Novokuznetsk led off in the first period again with an Ilya Musin goal, via Artyom Garifullin and Anton Kapotov. Metallurg added on in the second period on a Sergei Dorofeyev goal, going in unassisted. Vladivostok got on the board with a Niclas Bergfors power play goal, powered by Konstantin Makarov and Jan Kolar. Admiral tied it in the third period on a Makarov shorthanded goal, set up by Ilya Zubov. Vladivostok took the lead on a power play goal by Vyacheslav Ushenin, courtesy of Denis Kuzmin and Artyom Zemchyonok. This stood for a 3-2 win, with the three stars going to Makarov, Ushenin, and Bergfors.
