KHL February 8th, 2015

Two games on a calm day, beginning in...

Nizhny Novgorod, where Torpedo hosts Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Rafael Khakimov and Ivan Kasutin are in the blue paint. Nizhny Novgorod began in the first period on a Denis Kazionov goal, fueled by Juuso Hietanen. Novokuznetsk tied it on a Dmitry Maltsev goal, courtesy of Alexander Romanov. Torpedo retook the lead on a Nikita Dvurechensky penalty shot goal, after he was held by Nikita Popov. Nizhny Novgorod added on in the second period with an Alexei Potapov goal, via Gennady Stolyarov and Nikita Filatov. Metallurg got one back with a power play goal by Ryan Stoa, powered by Vladimir Malinovsky and Sergei Dorofeyev. This was as close as it got, with the final being 3-2, and the three stars going to Potapov, Dvurechensky, and Kazionov.

The other game had Severstal Cherepovets host Sibir Novosibirsk. Nikita Bespalov and Jakub Stepanek draw the starts. Novosibirsk led off in the first period on a Sergei Shumakov goal, coming off of Oleg Gubin and Stepan Sannikov. Sibir added on in the second period with a Jarno Koskiranta goal, fueled by Dmitry Monya and Alexei Kopeikin. Novosibirsk extended the lead as Artyom Voroshilo scored a shorthanded goal, set up by Konstantin Alexeyev. This produced the 3-0 final, with the three stars given to Bespalov (45 save shutout), Shumakov, and Voroshilo.
