KHL February 4th, 2015

Just two games today, beginning in...

Ufa, as Salavat Yulaev hosts Jokerit Helsinki. Riku Helenius and Leland Irving draw the starts. Helsinki was first to score in the first period on a Tommi Huhtala goal, courtesy of Ryan Gunderson and Niko Kapanen on the power play. Jokerit iced it at 2-0 with a third period empty net goal by Petteri Wirtanen, set up by Atte Ohtamaa and Kapanen. The three stars went to Helenius (26 save shutout), Huhtala, and Kapanen.

The other game features the Sochi Leopards hosting Barys Astana. Pavel Poluektov and Andrei Gavrilov are the backups in goal. Sochi struck first in the first period on a Max Warn power play goal, powered by Mikhail Anisin. Astana tied it on a Kevin Dallman power play goal, coming off of Roman Starchenko and Mike Lundin. Barys took the lead in the second period with a Maxim Semyonov power play goal, via Starchenko and Konstantin Rudenko. Astana added on with a Starchenko goal, going in unassisted. Barys extended the lead as Nigel Dawes scored, with the help of Brandon Bochenski. The Leopards got one back with an Anisin power play goal in the third period, helped along by Andrei Pervyshin. This only made it 4-2, the final, with the three stars going to Starchenko, Anisin, and Dawes.
