2015/16 KHL Season - Day 133

Just two games on the slate today. We begin in...

Khanty-Mansiysk, as Yugra hosts Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg. Igor Ustinsky and Vladislav Fokin make the starts. Khanty-Manisysk got going in the second period with a shorthanded Evgeny Orlov goal, set up by Vitaly Sitnikov. Yekaterinburg tied it with a Petr Koukal shorthanded goal, passed from Nikolai Timashov. The tie went to a shootout, where Andrei Alexeyev and Koukal tallied to give Avtomobilist the 2-1 win. The three stars went to Koukal, Ustinsky (27 for 28 in saves), and Orlov.

The other game is Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod hosting Dinamo Riga. Jakub Sedlacek and Ilya Proskuryakov are the masked men. Riga drew first blood in the first period with an Andris Dzerins power play goal, powered by Gunars Skvorcovs and Guntis Galvins. Nizhny Novgorod tied it on an Evgeny Mozer goal, assisted by Kaspars Daugavins. Torpedo took the lead in the second period as Daugavins scored a power play goal, with a lone helper from Dmitry Semin. Nizhny Novgorod added on with a Carl Klingberg goal in the third period, going in unassisted. Torpedo made it 4-1 with an Alexei Sopin goal, courtesy of Maxim Osipov. This stood as the final, with the three stars given to Daugavins, Proskuryakov (15 for 16 in saves), and Klingberg.
