Monday’s KHL card featured just two games. Table-topping Metallurg defeated Neftekhimik in a shoot-out after a 3-3 tie in Magnitogorsk, before Spartak won 3-1 at Shanghai Dragons.

The Kontinental Hockey League’s commission has determined the best players of the 2025-2026 Regular Season’s fourteenth week in four categories.

After the international break, the KHL resumed with new managerial appointments, a Stanley Cup winner’s first goal of the season and a swap deal involving import defensemen. Plus, the coaching staff for February’s All-Star Game was confirmed.

Only two games are on schedule on a light KHL Monday, with Metallurg facing Neftekhimik and the Shanghai Dragons welcoming Spartak. Both confrontations will be at their fourth edition in the season, with Neftekhimik and Spartak having the upper hand so far.

The Moscow derby was a goalie duel to the last: goalless through 65 minutes, Mikhail Ilyenko’s penalty shot was the first and only effort to find the net as Dynamo beat CSKA. Dinamo Minsk had no such problems, scoring seven on Lada to bounce back from a couple of losses. Sochi won 5-1 at Barys, Reid Boucher’s first power play goal of the season helped Avtomobilist beat Admiral 3-2 and Sibir held off an Amur fightback.
