KHL January 26th, 2015

Two games on right out of the All-Star weekend, with the first in...

Ufa, as Salavat Yulaev hosts SKA St. Petersburg. Mikko Koskinen and Vladimir Sokhatsky are given the starting nods. Ufa began in the first period on a Denis Tolpeko goal, courtesy of Denis Khlystov. Salavat Yulaev added on as Antti Pihlstrom scored in the second period, thanks to Dmitry Semin. St. Petersburg got on the board in the third period with a Dmitry Kalinin goal, via Ilya Kovalchuk and Viktor Tikhonov. Ufa shot back on an Alexander Mereskin goal, assisted by Stanislav Golovanov and Andrei Ankudinov. This made it 3-1, the final, with the three stars going to Sokhatsky (28 for 29 in saves), Pihlstrom, and Mereskin.

The other game has Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk hosting Traktor Chelyabinsk. Michael Garnett and Alexander Sudnitsin protect the nets. Nizhnekamsk led off in the first period on a Pavel Kulikov goal, passed from Yaroslav Alshevsky. Chelyabinsk tied it on an Anton Glinkin power play goal, powered by Andrei Popov and Dmitry Pestunov. Neftekhimik retook the lead in the second period on a Yegor Milovzorov goal, assisted by Stanislav Alshevsky. Traktor tied it again on a Pestunov power play goal, guided in by Popov and Glinkin.
