That result leaves the Motormen as the only team with an unbeaten start to the season after Dynamo Moscow fell at Vityaz. Last season, Avto enjoyed a long winning streak in the opening weeks and that played a big role in Yekaterinburg topping the Eastern Conference. In Monday’s other games, CSKA had a routine win at Severstal, Barys got revenge at Kunlun and Neftekhimik’s power play demolished Dinamo Riga.
8 September 2019, 19:50 Daily Round-up

Milestone for Shumakov, unlikely hero for Minsk. September 8 round-up
It was a tale of two strikers on Sunday as Avangard’s Sergei Shumakov got his 100th KHL goal to give his side victory over Torpedo. If he was a predictable scorer, though, few would have chosen Mikhail Stefanovich as the man to end Dinamo Minsk’s losing streak. The 29-year-old forward hadn’t scored a KHL goal since February 2011 but he snapped a 4-4 tie late in the game to sink Spartak. Kunlun goalie Jeremy Smith posted his first KHL shut-out to help his team edge Barys 1-0, while Traktor got its second win in two days at Amur.

All four games on the program included tributes to the 44 players and staff of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, killed in a plane crash on this date eight years ago as the team travelled to its opening game of the 2011/12 season.
