Leopards was close to a win in overtime against Khabarovsk.
This game was first for our new head coach Evgeny Stavrovsky who made a KHL debut this night. David Rundblad and Dmitry Kolgotin missed this game when defenseman Ivan Mishchenko, forwards Kirill Petkov and Danila Kvartalnov returned to the lineup.
Both teams started the game pretty well. In the end of the first period Oleg Pogorishny sent the puck to the net and it accidentally got in. Later we could extend our lead. However Pogorishny scored again, now it’s the second period. It was the first 2-goal night for our defenseman in the KHL.
Momentum changed right after that, Amur pulled the pedal and started to create a lot of in our zone. It led to three unanswered goals from their side. Luckily, Sochi was able to score at the end of the third period. Jere Karjalainen fired the open net after a series of shots and rebounds.
The Leopards finished regular time and started overtime with a man advantage. Unfortunately, we were not able to capitalize. In the shootout series Amur scored three unanswered goals and sealed the win.
Sochi will finish its home series on Monday against Salavat Yulaev.
