Heart-breaking game in Chelyabinsk ended with long-waited wins for the Leopards.

After huge loss in Magnitogorsk coaches made a big number of changes. Center German Rubtsov was moved to first line, Konstantin Klimontov returned on the ice, forward Dmitry Kolgotin made his KHL debut.

In first period Traktor outshouted our team with 12-1 score however they were able to score only one goal when Sergei Kalinin was first on the rebound. The game changed in the second. With our second shot of the night Dmitry Kolgotin tied the game and scored his first career KHL goal in first game. Anyway, Traktor played aggressively that did not change even after our second of the night. Georgy Solyannikov scored his first career KHL game in his third appearance.

Home team tied the game in the third, it was a lucky rebound from the skate that helped Lukas Sedlak to score. The game was equal chances to finish it in regular time. In overtime Lassinannti played his maybe minutes in our jersey helping team to survive on a couple of dangerous breakaways. And finally with 1:55 left to play Kirill Petkov converted our chance to game winning goal.

Next game we’ll play at home on Sunday against Ak Bars.
