Lokomotiv lost to the Zubrs and scored points

Yaroslavl Lokomotiv made another illogical loss. Having won brilliantly and with a big advantage over the conference leader, the capital’s Dynamo, the “railwaymen” were unable to overcome the outsider of the playoff zone – Dynamo Minsk. A long, difficult game and extra time did not help determine the winner. This had to be clarified through shootouts.

The home team opened the scoring at the end of the first period. In the second period, Volkov, with the help of Kayumov and Simashev, was able to equalize the score. But the “bisons” again hit Isaev’s goal. In the third period, Likhachev, with the help of Bereglazov and Nikulin, was able to equalize the score again. Regular time ended with the score level. The winner was determined by shootouts. And here Dynamo Minsk turned out to be stronger. The result of the match is 3-2 in favor of the Minsk team.

Lokomotiv interrupted its 5-match winning streak, but scored points in the 6th match in a row. The team maintains first place in the West conference. For Dynamo Minsk, on the contrary, this was a continuation of the winning streak.

During the match there was a lot of power struggle. Gernat did not want to fight with the Minsk tough guy and he was spared injuries. But Rafikov and Sergeev received offensive injuries.

On September 9, the Lokomotiv team will play a home match.
