One win away: Lokomotiv eyes historic Gagarin Cup triumph
Lokomotiv is on the brink of making history. After a dominant 3:1 win in Chelyabinsk, the Railwaymen lead the series 3-1 and are just one victory away from their first Gagarin Cup title. With three straight wins following an opening loss, the Yaroslavl side has momentum and home ice on its side for game five. Can Traktor force the series back to Chelyabinsk, or will Lokomotiv lift its first national championship since 2003 in front of its fans?
Traktor eyes game four bounceback
Lokomotiv seized the advantage in the Gagarin Cup final with a clinical 5:2 win in Chelyabinsk, taking a 2-1 series lead. Artur Kayumov led the charge with two goals, while veteran Alexander Radulov extended his scoring streak to four games. Traktor, missing key players in game three, hopes to bounce back with Charles Robinson and Andrei Svetlakov likely to return for game four. As the series stays in Chelyabinsk, the pressure is now firmly on the home team.
Deadlock in the finals: Who gains the edge today?
With the 2025 Gagarin Cup final tied at 1-1, Traktor and Lokomotiv head to Chelyabinsk for a pivotal third game. Lokomotiv rebounded from an opening loss with a dominant 4-1 victory in Yaroslavl, neutralizing Traktor’s top scorer Maxim Shabanov and overwhelming Zach Fucale’s net with 46 shots. Alexander Radulov leads the charge on a hot streak, while key injuries and milestones loom. Both teams are now hunting momentum in a finely balanced showdown with the Cup on the line.
Lokomotiv looking to tie up the scoring
Lokomotiv will try to bounce back after dropping Game 1 in dramatic fashion, conceding twice in just 13 seconds during a tough third period. The Yaroslavl team has now opened each of its three playoff series with a loss and needs a stronger offensive effort to avoid falling into a deeper hole. Traktor, on the other hand, is flying high behind Maxim Shabanov’s scoring streak and looks to build on its momentum in game two of an exciting Gagarin Cup final series.
The 2025 Gagarin Cup finals are here!
Lokomotiv enters the finals with confidence, having defeated Traktor twice during the regular season—5:3 in Chelyabinsk and 4:2 at home. The Yaroslavl side also swept Traktor in last year’s semifinals, setting the stage for a heated rematch. Both teams dropped just one game in their respective semifinal series, showing strong form at the right time. With neither team having ever lifted the Gagarin Cup, this season will crown a first-time champion—adding even more weight to every shift, save, and goal.
Dynamo looking to extend the series again!
Facing elimination, Dynamo Moscow avoided a sweep with a composed 3:1 victory over Traktor in game four of the Gagarin Cup semifinals. Missing key imports, the Blue-and-Whites relied on timely goals and solid defense to snap a playoff losing streak against the Chelyabinsk side. As the series shifts back to the Urals, Dynamo must deliver again to keep their hopes alive against a Traktor team still holding the upper hand.
Lokomotiv on track for the finals
Backed by a dominant shutout performance from Daniil Isayev and a trio of young scorers, Lokomotiv heads into game five with a chance to close out the semifinals on home ice. Holding a 3-1 series lead, the Railwaymen look poised for a Gagarin Cup finals return, while Salavat Yulaev faces mounting pressure and questions in net. With history and milestones on the line, expect intensity in Yaroslavl as both teams fight for their playoff lives.
Do or die for Dynamo Moscow in game four!
Down 0-3 in the series, Dynamo Moscow faces elimination as Traktor Chelyabinsk eyes a sweep and a long-awaited return to the Gagarin Cup finals. Game three saw the first OT of the semifinals, with Maxim Shabanov sealing the win and extending his scoring streak. With no penalties in regulation last time out, discipline may again prove crucial. Can Dynamo fight back on home ice, or will Traktor finish the job today in the capital?
Dynamo returns home looking to halt Traktor’s momentum
Traktor heads to Moscow with a 2-0 series lead after back-to-back narrow wins, powered by early scoring and strong goaltending from Zach Fucale. Dynamo, still searching for answers in net, will hope that home ice—and Jordan Weal’s continued scoring streak—can help shift the momentum. With drama and emotions in sight for both sides, game three is shaping up to be a pivotal clash in this semifinal series.
Series between Lokomotiv and Salavat Yulaev tied as action moves to Ufa
Lokomotiv evened the series with a solid 2:1 win in Game 2, bouncing back after a home loss. With the next two games set for Ufa, Salavat Yulaev aims to make the most of home ice and avoid a repeat of Lokomotiv’s road dominance from the previous round. A strong showing from Daniil Isayev and another key goal from Maxim Shalunov highlight the Railwaymen’s resurgence ahead of a crucial game three in Ufa.
Traktor turns up the heat, Dynamo seeks payback in Game 2
The Chelyabinsk side stormed back in game one to snatch a dramatic 4:3 win, continuing its trend of comeback victories this postseason. Dynamo Moscow, despite Jordan Weal’s two-goal effort, couldn’t hold the lead and now looks to respond with urgency in a pivotal second clash of this high-stakes semifinal series.
Second semifinal starts today. Traktor hosts Dynamo Moscow
After last year’s sweep by Traktor in the second round, Dynamo Moscow is back and determined to settle the score. The Blue-and-Whites seek redemption as they head to Chelyabinsk for the opening game of the semifinals. In the regular season, the teams traded wins, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling battle. All eyes are on whether Dynamo can reverse their fortunes against a confident Traktor side.
The semifinals start today with Lokomotiv hosting Salavat Yulaev
The KHL semifinals kick off as Lokomotiv hosts Salavat Yulaev in Yaroslavl. The Ufa team won both regular-season meetings in extra time. Lokomotiv comes off a seven-game battle against Avangard, while Salavat Yulaev staged a dramatic comeback to defeat Spartak. The Railwaymen’s coach Igor Nikitin chases a milestone tonight, adding extra spice to an already thrilling matchup. Expect a tight contest as both sides fight for an early edge.
Game seven in Ufa, Yaroslavl
Today’s matchday will treat the fans with two game seven in the same day – that’s a rarity and a can’t-miss opportunity. Salavat Yulaev welcomes Spartak after forcing a seventh game with an OT win in game six, while Avangard travels to Lokomotiv after blanking the Railwaymen 3:0 on Monday. Today’s games promise excitation and drama – and a lot on stake.
Do or die for Ak Bars today

Goalie decisions and scoring streaks could tip the balance in this thriller.
