Lokomotiv saw its nine game winning streak come to a halt in Yekaterinburg where Jakub Kovar blanked the visiting offense before Brooks Macek grabbed an overtime winner. Traktor’s good form continued and a home win over Torpedo puts Chelyabinsk up to fourth. Elsewhere, rehabilitation was the name of the game.

Lokomotiv won its ninth straight game, thumping Salavat Yulaev 5-0 in Ufa, while Vityaz won 5-1 on the road at Dynamo.

Jokerit produced a spectacular fightback in Nur-Sultan to defeat Barys. Down 0-4 after 45 minutes, the Finns rallied to win it in overtime.

Elsewhere, Barys came from 0-2 down to win in overtime at Salavat Yulaev, Spartak almost blew a 5-1 lead at home to Red Star and Vityaz proved too strong for Amur.

Metallurg got a third successive victory, but had to battle all the way to stop Avtomobilist in a shoot-out. SKA looked to be cruising at home to Sochi, leading 4-1 with two minutes left. The Army Men took the verdict, but only after the visitor battled back to 3-4 in a tense finale.
