Avangard plays at home on September 7 in the KHL championship against Ekaterinburg Avtomobilist. After two periods our team leads 2:1.

Let us note that in memory of the tragedy with the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv – the team died on this very day in 2011 – the throw-in was held by the widow of goalkeeper Alexander Vyukhin, Elena. Fans and hockey players of both teams honored the memory of the deceased players with a minute of silence.

In the first period the score was not opened. The guests also attacked well, even sharper, and in some places they were only slightly unlucky to score. Omsk attacked more, but had very few clear chances to score.

The majority at the end of the period did not help our team either.

But in the second, almost 7 minutes passed and Avangard finally gave up. Kirill Panyukov, while attacking, had no problem driving close to the opponent’s goal and sent the puck there. Geraskin and Nikolishin passed to him here. And after three minutes the score became 2:0. Again, Reed Boucher scored in even strength, with Spoonner and Gulyaev assisting him.

Further, after Telegin’s removal, the “hawks” once survived in the minority. But in equal compositions they were essentially allowed into the locker room. The guests added persistence in their positional attack. Their legionnaire Wolf Curtis distinguished himself. There were 1 minute and 17 seconds left before the siren and the break. 2:1 – this is the score before the third period.
