2015/16 KHL Season - Day 18

Two games today, beginning with...

CSKA Moscow welcoming Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Vasily Koshechkin and Stanislav Galimov tend the twines. Moscow started in the first period on a power play goal by Nikita Zaitsev, powered by Denis Denisov and Stephane Da Costa. Magnitogorsk tied it in the second period on a power play goal from Jan Kovar, guided in by Chris Lee and Sergei Mozyakin. Metallurg took the lead on a Mozyakin power play goal, assisted by Lee and Kovar. Magnitogorsk iced it at 3-1 in the third period on an empty net power play goal from Mozyakin, set up by Danis Zaripov. The three stars went to Mozyakin, Kovar, and Koshechkin (33 for 34 in saves), while Lee gets an honorable mention.

The other game has Severstal Cherepovets bringing in Salavat Yulaev Ufa. Niklas Svedberg and Jakub Stepanek are in the creases. Ufa opened in the first period on a Linus Omark goal, fueled by Igor Grigorenko and Kirill Koltsov. Cherepovets tied it with a Dmitry Kagarlitsky shorthanded goal, set up by Andrei Konev. Salavat Yulaev took the lead back in the second period on an Ivan Vishnevsky goal, passed from Denis Khlystov and Dmitry Makarov. The final stood at 2-1 from here, with the three stars going to Svedberg (24 for 25 in saves), Vishnevsky, and Omark.
