Lokomotiv lost to the outsider of the East conference

The team of the Yaroslavl hockey club could not overcome the Vladivostok Admiral. Yesterday’s opponent of the “railroad workers” did not achieve much success in the regular season. And depending on the matches played, he was either in 12th or 13th place in the East conference standings. But the match with Lokomotiv became a gift from Admiral to the fans from Vladivostok. The guests won in regulation time.

There were no changes in the score in the first period. And in the second, the guests opened the scoring by scoring against Lokomotiv newcomer Melnichuk.

In the third period, Rushan Rafikov, with the help of Alekseev and Ivanov, was able to score a goal against the opponent. But before the end of the period the visitors scored again.

The result of the meeting was 1-2 in favor of Admiral. As a result of the match, Lokomotiv dropped to second place in the West conference. If the teams do not change places before the end of the regular season, Lokomotiv will again play against CSKA in the first round of the playoffs. The army team, although not shining this season, has already knocked Lokomotiv out of the playoffs twice before.

Lokomotiv has 3 games left until the end of the regular season.
