Will Game 2 match-ups prove as tight as they did in Game 1?

As was the case in all their regular season match-ups, the CSKA vs Spartak Moscow affair once again ended with a single goal being the difference. And it took overtime for CSKA to pull out the 1-0 victory.

Lokomotiv only needed regulation time to get the same result as CSKA over Jokerit while Salavat slipped by Traktor with a 3-1 win. What kind of an encore will we get today with eight teams keeping things so close and low-scoring?
