About the game
The Bisons came from behind to grab a critical OT win in Moscow and keep its season alive. Yegor Petukhov’s early goal sent Dynamo Moscow ahead as for long time it looked like the Muscovites would grab their win. However, with just ten minutes to play the visitor tied the scores with Vadim Moroz, sending the game to the extras. The first OT ended goalless, with Nick Merkley finding the game-winner after more than eighty minutes of play. Both goalies were impressive, with Ilya Konovalov posting 32 saves, and Alexei Kolosov stopping 43 shots.
Dinamo Minsk’s goalie Alexei Kolosov is on a 74:35 shutout streak.
