High scoring Thursday in KHL

In the top duel of Chernyshyov Division the guests Metallurg Novokuznetsk won against Division leaders Sibir Novosibirsk thanks to a great second-period performance. Alexei Yefimov, Zakhar Arzamastsev, twice Alexander Bumagin and Alexander Mereskin made sure the easy win for Metallurg. Mikhail Fisenko had scored the equalizer for Sibir in between. In the last minutes of regulation Jonas Enlund and Artyom Voroshilo only could cut the lead for the final result of 3-5.

Amazing comeback qualities by Slovan Bratislava. In Nizhnekamsk they defeated local side Neftekhimik despite being one behind four (!!!) times. When Renat Mamashev took a two-minute penalty for holding at 57:18, Slovan Bratislava pulled out goalie Jaroslav Janus and Milan Bartovic scored the equalizer with just 74 seconds left on the clock. When Michel Miklik opened the shootout with a goal for Slovan, it turned out to be the game-winner already and gave the extra point to the Slovakians.

Another team with a nice race to catch up was Donbas Donetsk. Despite a four-goal deficit after 40 minutes against Dinamo Minsk they never gave up and came as close as to a one-goal difference until 54:05 but in the end the 4-5 stood and all three points went to the guests from Belarus. Although they won, the Belarussians are still last in Tarasov Division while Donbas is on the same position in Bobrov Division.
