The Yaroslavl hockey club convincingly beat Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo in an away match. And he created one of the most exciting matches of the season.

Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo is one of the strongest clubs in the West Conference this season. But after a bright start, he began to gradually lose his leadership position. Lokomotiv is firmly in third place in the Western conference.

In Nizhny Novgorod, the Yaroslavl team immediately took the “deer” by the horns. In the first period, first Andrei Sergeev, with a feed from Shalunov, scored a goal against the home team, converting the majority. And then Nikita Cherepanov increased the lead by scoring the second goal for the “deer” in even strength.

In the second period the situation repeated itself. Denis Alekseev, with the help of Georgy Ivanov, converted the majority. Once again, Yaroslav Likhachev and Rushan Ravfikov created a goal in the power play.

At the beginning of the third period, Likhachev and Nikulin created another goal, again successfully converting the majority. And only in the second half of the third period were the home team able to “unseal” Isaev’s goal.

During the 49th minute of the match, the Nizhny Novgorod team converted the power play twice, making the most of one penalty from Lokomotiv. And in the 51st minute they scored in equal strength.

But this is where the Nizhny Novgorod luck ended. The home team failed to equalize the score until the end of the period. Final score 3-5. With the victory, Lokomotiv returns to Yaroslavl to host the capital’s Dynamo on December 30.
