In-form Dinamo Riga made it six wins from seven to heap more misery on stuttering Salavat Yulaev. Goals from Jamie Lundmark and Mikelis Redlihs put the visitors 2-0 up in Ufa, and although the defending champion pulled one back through Sergei Yemelin, Salavat couldn't tie the game in the tense finale.
SKA snaps losing streak
SKA St. Petersburg iced a much-changed line-up at Amur Khabarovsk – and promptly ended a three-game losing streak. The decision to promote Maxim Rybin to the first line paid off, as he produced a goal and two assists in SKA’s 7-3 victory. It took just four minutes for the visitors to open up a 2-0 lead, and by the first interval it was 4-0. Amur, who topped the table earlier in the season, have now suffered 7 defeats in 9 games in the past month – but there was relief at last for forward Jakub Petruzalek. The Czech striker got his first goal in five outings, but could do little to save his team from defeat.
