Metallurg will be back. March 10 must be hot in Magnitogorsk

In the second match of the series, Metallurg, which had a good chance to win in 60 minutes, offendedly lost in overtime. With the first throw Barys captain Darren Dietz equalized the score in this series.

Juho Olkinuora from the first minutes went on the ice in the second game against Barys. It was his full-fledged debut match in the Gagarin Cup playoffs. A big loss was the absence of the attacking defender Yegor Yakovlev, who was injured.


The appearance of Nekolenko was a good help. Especially for playing in the minority. In the previous game, Magnitogorsk experienced many problems in this component, having conceded three goals in the minority in four attempts.

The majority of Magnitogorsk responded to Barys's puck - Mozyakin intercepted the puck, gave it to Nestrashil - 1:1.


It was clear to everyone that overtime had begun long before its official part. The hosts carefully threw all their strength into keeping within 60 minutes. Magnitogorsk managed to establish control over the puck, and attack carefully. It didn't work out to score in regular time. All of us were waiting for the first overtime in this series.

It looks like the third break didn't go to Olkinuora favor. With the first throw, Dietz outplayed goalkeeper. Video review showed that there was no offside. As a result, on March 10 in Magnitogorsk it will definitely take place in the fifth match.
