Series stand

About the game
The Railwaymen had a strong start in game one, with the teams being close enough until Traktor’s goalie Zach Fucale picked up an injury in the middle frame. Then, Loko was up 2:1, but the game ended with a 5:2 score. Alexander Polunin potted a double for the home team and Pavel Kraskovsky had a three-point performance, while Daniil Isayev recorded 23 saves for the Railwaymen. It won’t be easy for the Chelyabinsk side in game two, especially should Fucale fail to recovery on time for tonight’s contest in Yaroslavl.
Lokomotiv’s forward Maxim Beryozkin is on a four-game scoring streak, with 6 (2+4) points over that span.
Traktor’s forward Mikhail Kotlyarevsky is also on a four-game scoring streak, with 4 (2+2) points.

Injury list
Traktor: Andrei Chibisov.
