Battle of Moscow enters a new phase after latest Spartak win!
After a tight OT victory in Game 3, in which Spartak finally found a way to put a few pucks in the net, Dynamo will surely be sweating a bit more heading into Game 4.
All other Game 3s between today’s opponents saw the series-leading team taking a commanding 3-0 lead, albeit each victory first came in overtime. Can Avtomobilist, Torpedo, and Neftekhimik stave off elimination with a timely Game 4 victory?
