Metallurg began the away series with a match against Avangard in Omsk. This was the third meeting of the season for the teams.

The match between the teams was essentially a battle for first place in the East. The rivals approached their next meeting with the same points in the table – 57 each. Previously, Metallurg and Omsk met twice this season and both games went to Omsk.

Compared to the previous victorious game, there were not many changes in the Magnitogorsk lineup. Danila Palivko and Dmitry Silantyev were returned to the application. Alexey Maklyukov and Valery Orekhov missed the match, respectively.

The score in the match was opened in the sixth minute. Metallurg gained two numerical advantages after the Avangard player was sent off. The guests did not delay the implementation and shot through the Omsk goalkeeper. The goal was scored by Daniil Vovchenko, who recently moved from Severstal to Magnitogorsk.

Mikhail Belyaev equalized the score for his team.

In the opening of the third period, Metallurg strengthened the lead to 3:1. Luke Johnson, who scored a brace in the last match, scored. A few minutes later, the Omsk team managed to win back one goal, but the hosts failed to save the match.
