With a drastic lack of games today, we will take care of all five games across the two leagues in one post. We begin in...
Togliatti, as Lada hosts Slovan Bratislava. Barry Brust and Edgars Masalskis are in the creases. Togliatti was first to score in the first period on an Alexander Bolshakov power play goal, powered by Dmitry Vorobyov and Georgy Belousov. Bratislava tied it in the second period with a Michel Miklik goal, passed from Cam Barker and Lukas Kaspar. Lada took the lead back on a Vasily Streltsov power play goal, assisted by Mark Flood and Alexander Bumagin. The final stood from here at 2-1, with the three stars going to Masalskis (30 for 31 in saves), Streltsov, and Bolshakov.
Over in Moscow, CSKA welcomes Dinamo Minsk. Jeff Glass and Viktor Fasth receive the starting nods in goal. Moscow struck first in the first period on a shorthanded and unassisted Evgeny Korotkov goal. Minsk tied it with a second period goal by Alexander Pavlovich, going in unassisted. CSKA took the lead back in third period on a Simon Hjalmarsson goal, with a lone assist by Alexander Radulov. This made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars given to Hjalmarsson, Fasth (27 for 28 in saves), and Korotkov.
Backtracking to Cherepovets, where Severstal hosts Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Mikhail Biryukov and Sergei Magarilov are in goal. Nizhny Novgorod led off in the first period on an Alexei Sopin goal, coming off of Sergei Kostitsyn and Linus Videll. Cherepovets tied it on a power play goal from Ondrej Nemec in the second period, powered by Pavel Buchnevich and Daniil Vovchenko. Torpedo won 2-1 in overtime on a Videll goal, guided in by Sopin and Maxim Kondratyev. The three stars went to Videll, Sopin, and Biryukov (21 for 22 in saves).
Finally, Ak Bars Kazan brings in Medvescak Zagreb. Gasper Kroselj and Emil Garipov are between the pipes. Kazan began in the first period on a Mikhail Glukhov goal, via Fyodor Malykhin. Ak Bars added on in the third period with an Artyom Lukoyanov goal, fueled by Konstantin Korneyev and Alexander Svitov. This produced the 2-0 final, with the three stars being Glukhov, Lukoyanov, and Garipov (14 save shutout).
The NHL's only game featured the Ottawa Senators hosting the Montreal Canadiens. Matthew O'Connor and Mike Condon are the rookie goalies. Montreal drew first blood in the first period on a Tomas Plekanec goal, his second of the season, courtesy of Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher. The Canadiens added on with another Plekanec goal, his second of the game and third of the year going in unassisted. Ottawa got on the board in the second period on a Jean-Gabriel Pageau shorthanded and unassisted goal. Montreal shot back with a Torrey Mitchell goal, made possible by P.K. Subban and Andrei Markov. This made it a 3-1 final, with the three stars going to Plekanec, Condon (20 for 21 in saves), and O'Connor (31 for 34 in saves).
