Late drama in Minsk
A brave fightback from Dinamo Minsk could not save them from defeat at home to Atlant Moscow Region - but the hosts did at least force overtime before succumbing. Libor Pivko tied the game at 2-2 on 59:14, with Atlant’s Ilya Kablukov sitting out a roughing penalty, but Andrei Zubarev got the winner 60 seconds into overtime. Earlier Atlant had taken control of the game with goals from Nikolai Zherdev (29:55) and Igor Musatov (37:19) before Dinamo hit back with Andrei Mikhalyov’s powerplay goal on 52:52 and Pivko’s late leveler.
