SKA holds off Lev

But Jaroslav Kristek and Vladimir Mihalik pulled it back to 3-2 and ensured a tense finale.
Dinamo duel
Minsk won the battle of the Dinamos by the narrowest of margins - but only after withstanding a fightback from Riga.

With no further scoring, it fell to Dmitry Meleshko to take the honors in the shoot-out and keep Dinamo Minsk in second place in the Western Conference.
