Traktor bounced back from two heavy losses to down Sochi in overtime while Torpedo’s young forward Daniil Veryayev scored twice in his team’s 3-2 win over Metallurg. Ak Bars won the Tatarstan derby and Slovan took the verdict in an absorbing encounter in Vladivostok.

Ak Bars continues to alternate victories and defeats, winning at Torpedo today after Sunday’s stumble at Barys. The Kazakhs again went the distance but lost to Avangard in a shoot-out after clawing back a 0-3 deficit. And Sibir’s troubles go on – a 1-3 loss in Ufa makes it eight without a win this season.

Sibir’s new head coach Alexander Andrievsky got a quick idea of the problems at the club – Torpedo inflicted a seventh successive loss on the Eastern Conference’s basement team.

12 September 2018, 22:45 Daily Round-up

The end of (most of) the streaks. September 12 round-up
It was a day of first wins and first losses. SKA claimed an overtime win over Jokerit to end the Finns’ 100% record in game five of their campaign. Salavat Yulaev did something similar to Torpedo, posting a 4-3 verdict in regulation. If those two were frustrated at the end of their winning runs, there was much better news for Amur and Dinamo Minsk. Both clubs got their first victories of the season, overcoming Admiral and Spartak respectively. Avangard managed to buck the trend – just – with a shoot-out win over Ak Bars to keep pace with Avtomobilist at the top of the Eastern Conference.
