Far east teams continue Siberian quest

Metallurg Nk - Admiral 1:2 OT

Captain Enver Lisin ties the game early in the third, but the thrilling finish is brought by Felix Schultz scoring with only 9 seconds before the end of overtime.

A crazy game took place in Novokuznetsk, but first period was scoreless even though Metallurg were outshot 13-6. Neither team could get rid of the pressure and so we had to wait until 33:56 when Marko Anttila puts his name on the boards, to get the home team up front.

Metallurg had more of the game, but sometimes in hockey, the outcome isn't exactly a true display of what was going on on the ice. At 42:51 Enver Lisin scores a powerplay tally to get Admiral finally on board and tie the game at 1after Hovinen's deflection in net.

With the result even, the game was taken to overtime which was practically coast-to-coast by both teams and it could have gone to either side. But with only 9 seconds left, a 2-on-2 breakaway was lead by Yegor Antropov on the right side who feeds for Felix Schutz just in time and he puts the puck behind Niko Hovinen while he still can't make it to the other side.

Sibir - Amur 3:2 SO

Dmitry Kugryshev scores the decisive goal in the fifth shootout series to give Sibir the edge in the game and leads them to glory and wins the second point today. At 11:20 he opens the scoring on the assist from Konstantin Alexeyev and aims Sibir towards new points. At 36:27 Nikolai Lemtyugov doubles the lead with Jori Lehtera's feed deking out a defendseman in front.

At 45:48 Mikhail Fisenko ties the game on even strenght, and the overtime seems close due to very balanced game. Before the end of the 2nd period, at 39:03 Dylan Reese cuts the lead to half  after Artyom Kryukov and Brian Salcido add the assists to the stats.

Amur now lies in the last place in the East with 2 points from 3 games, but surprisingly enough, Admiral is in the 8th place with 0-2-1 record and 4 points. Dynamo Moscow is still in first place in the league with 12 points from 4 games, while SKA are 2nd with a game less and still 100% record.
