Igumnov’s goal brought Avangard their second victory of the KHL season

On Thursday, September 7, the Omsk KHL team played at home with Avtomobilist and eventually won 3:2. The decisive goal was Ivan Igumnov’s goal in overtime. Now the Omsk team has two victories in a row at the start of the new season.

On September 7, Avangard played a KHL championship match with Avtomobilist on its ice and won 3:2. In the second period, Kirill Panyukov and Reed Boucher scored his goals.

We’ve already talked about how the first two periods went. reported. In the third, of course, the Urals tried to win back and moved forward, but the Siberians certainly didn’t sit back on defense either. As a result, by the 56th minute, Avangard had not increased its advantage, and the guests did not equalize the score. In the remaining time, of course, it was very difficult for the hosts, especially since the “drivers” removed the goalkeeper and released another fielder instead. They besieged the opponent’s zone quite tightly, plus in the 59th minute they called a timeout for a mini-meeting.

Alas, it still brought them fruit! In 1 minute and 17 seconds, in close combat, Demchenko pushed the puck into the goal again by Curtis, thereby scoring a double. In three seconds, Nikita Tryamkin also snatched a penalty from the Urals. But here the Omsk team simply did not have enough time to realize the majority. This advantage carried over into overtime.

In extra time, at 4 on 3, Avangard did not convert the majority. Even after removing the goalkeeper himself. After Tryamkin’s penalty expired, we ended up having to play with an empty goal in a more dangerous formation for quite some time. And yet, in the 4th minute of overtime, the Hawks succeeded in a slightly “garbage” goal – Ivan Igumnov scored from passes from Sharipzyanov and Geraskin. The referee looked at the replay and still counted the puck.

Next, on September 9, Avangard will play at home against Barys.
