Avangard left no chances to Barys. The Hawks move on to the East finals
In what seemed to be a strong candidate for a seven-game series, Avangard didn’t experience much trouble in getting the best of Barys. The Kazakhs battled fiercely – and at times they looked able to get Avangard more than a problem – but the Hawks were ultimately the best team and deservedly earned the right to take on Salavat Yulaev on the Eastern Conference finals.

Lokomotiv not a threat for SKA. The Army team moves to the West Finals
Not differently from last year – at least for the outcome – SKA skated past Lokomotiv in the Western Conference semifinals with a 4-1 score. Lokomotiv fought hard – in a couple of occasions, literally so – but the Railwaymen’s efforts weren’t enough to overcome a focused SKA team. On its end, SKA started the series better than the first round against Spartak, and it paid out as the team led by Ilya Vorobyov closed the clash in only five games.

CSKA felt no panic when the Blues-and-Whites tied the series at one after a memorable 22-save shutout by Ivan Bocharov and an OT winner scored by Vladimir Bryukvin.
