Lokomotiv Yaroslavl won its first ever game in VHL, where they will play this season due to the board of director's decision. Dmitri Maltsev, Oleg Yashin, Kirill Kapustin, Daniil Erdakov, Alexei Kruchinin lead Yaroslavl to 5-1 win over Neftyanik Almetievsk, who answered with lonely goal by Rustem Shangaraev. Lokomotiv will play once time at home against all West conference teams, and one game away against the East teams. Yaroslavl renounced their rights to guaranteed playoff-spot this season, that's why teams in the West will be sorted in standings by a percentage of winning points, except first two, who will be the division's winners.
