About the game
Maxim Beryozkin gave the Railwaymen a 1:0 lead in the third period, but the hosts rallied back and won with a late-gasp powerplay tally by Alexander Petunin that gave Magnitka the first lead in the final series. Both goalies were outstanding between the piping, but Ilya Nabokov got the win with 20 saves. Petunin also had an assist when Nikita Mikhailis tied things up just three minutes after Beryozkin’s tally. Most likely, Metallurg’s captain Yegor Yakovlev will be again on the bench as he’s sitting out of the lineup with an injury.
Lokomotiv’s forwards Maxim Beryozkin and Artur Kayumov are on an identical two-game scoring streak, with 2 (1+1) points.

Injury list
Metallurg: Yegor Yakovlev.
