Three games on a slow day for the league, beginning with...
Jokerit Helsinki hosting Vityaz Podolsk. Harri Sateri and Riku Helenius are the goalies. Helsinki started in the first period on a power play goal by Pekka Jormakka, powered by Peter Regin and Philip Larsen. Podolsk retied it on a Mario Kempe power play goal in the second period, via Dmitry Kostromitin and Roman Horak. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Vityaz's lone tally from Alexander Kucheryavenko provided them all they needed for a 2-1 win. The three stars went to Sateri (46 for 47 in saves), Kucheryavenko, and Helenius (19 for 20 in saves).

St. Petersburg opened with a Joakim Lindstrom goal, coming off of Jarno Koskiranta. Zagreb tied it on a Radek Smolenak goal, courtesy of Marek Kvapil and Tomas Mertl. SKA retook the lead on an Evgeny Dadonov goal, passed from Vadim Shipachyov in the second period. Medvescak retied it on another Smolenak goal, made possible by Kvapil and Mertl. Zagreb pulled ahead when Smolenak finished his hat trick on a third goal, guided in by Mertl, who got a sock trick, and Ilya Arkalov. St. Petersburg retied it in the third period as Shipachyov scored, thanks to Dadonov and Anton Burdasov. SKA took the lead again on an Anton Belov power play goal, with helpers provided by Burdasov and Shipachyov.
