Amur hockey players, on the other hand, achieved their first success this season. The Khabarovsk team stopped a series of six losses.
–
Andrew O’Brien received a 2 + 10 minute penalty for a dangerous game in the head and neck area at the very beginning of the game, but the home team discovered the result less than seven minutes later. On the blue line at the puck was Sergei Tereshchenko, whose shot was not seen by Ilya Proskurjakov – 0: 1. In the continuation of the period, both teams practiced a style of games rich in rejections, but the Rigans were unable to equalize the result, while Proskurjakovs repeatedly saved his unit from a larger deficit.

Also in the second period, the majority belonged to the housewives, who reached 2: 0 in the last minute of the third. The numerical majority was realized by Valentin Pjanov. In the final 20 minutes, there was dynamic hockey at both ends of the field. Dinamo scored about five minutes before the end of the game, when Denis Parshin, already lying on the ice, passed to Ellis, who was flawless from a close distance.

In the past, O’Braiens’s Denisu Golubevu player had to be carried off on a stretcher in agony. However, Paršins did not manage to connect with it, as his team mates had hoped, and the ball went out.

“Dinamo” made 40 shots in this duel against the opponents’ goal. “Amur” blocked 17 “dynamic” throws in this duel, while the Rigans got in the way of the puck eight times.

Although “Dinamo” is one of the best majority in KHL at the beginning of the season, none of the five options were realized on Wednesday.
