Grigorenko inspires CSKA. April 13 playoffs
Mikhail Grigorenko grabbed a hat-trick to give CSKA a winning start in this year’s Gagarin Cup final. His treble also moves him to 11 goals and a share in the race for top post-season goalscorer alongside Sergei Shumakov of Avangard. Shumakov himself was among the goals today, but was outgunned by Grigorenko’s infectious form.

Ak Bars wins the Gagarin Cup. Final, Game 5, April 22
Ak Bars wrote its name into the history books with its third Gagarin Cup triumph. Fittingly, in this 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary season, the biggest prize went back to the first time to lift the cup, while the Kazan team’s success puts out in front of the competition. No other team has won it all more than twice; head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov claimed his third triumph to move level with Oleg Znarok (Dynamo and SKA) as the most successful KHL coach.

Canadian double act puts Ak Bars on top. Playoffs, Final, Game 2. April 16
It’s an odd stat, but home ice victories for Ak Bars in the Gagarin Cup Final aren’t as common as you might expect for a team with two cup wins already in the record books. In three previous grand final appearances, Kazan had seen just three home wins for Ak Bars. Back-to-back wins, as seen at the start of this series, are unprecedented in the KHL era. With Zinetula Bilyaletdinov’s team historically even more impressive on the road, it might suggest that CSKA faces an even more challenging task than usual if it is to recover from 0-2 in the series.
