Metallurg's 700 home victories and 1,000 regular season victories

On January 7, Metallurg won the seven hundredth victory on home ice in the highest echelon of Russian hockey, beating Lokomotiv with a score of 3:1.

Metallurg approached the next anniversary milestone with the following figures: 587 home victories in the regular championships and 113 in the playoffs.

On September 12, 1992, Metallurg won their first home game at the highest level, defeating Salavat Yulaev with the score 5:3 in a highly effective match. The game was very stubborn, the final turning point in it came in the 49th minute, when Sergey Mogilnikov took the hosts ahead for the third time - 4:3. The final result in the 58th minute was drawn up by Igor Knyazev. In addition, Dmitry Filippov, Sergey Osipov and Yuri Shpigalo scored goals in that match with the hosts.

100th Home Win

It took Metallurg more than five years to reach the hundredth home victory. On September 17, 1997, the Permian Molot-Prikamye was beaten - 3:1. On the quick goal of Sergei Gomolyako in the 6th minute, the guests responded with Zelenchev's puck on the 27th minute. A couple of minutes before the second break, Alexander Golts took the lead from Magnitogorsk, and in the 52nd minute Andrey Petrakov secured the success.

200th Home Win

"Metallurg" began to win at home more frequently in succeeding years, and thus celebrated their 200th triumph during the Olympic time. Severstal from Cherepovets was also defeated 3: 1 on October 14, 2001. Only this time the residents of Magnitogorsk made the result in the first period. Gladskikh's shots in the 5th minute and Khaceya in the 18th made a significant start - 2:0. True, in the 25th minute Pavel Torgaev introduced a small intrigue into the game in the majority, which vanished by the 29th minute thanks to the exact fall of Alexander Koreshkov - 3:1

300th Home Win

Metallurg won their 300th home game against Siberia on October 30, 2005, with a score of 4: 2. It was yet another regular-season contest in the Super League. The opponent, on the other hand, put up a strong resistance in the opening period. Thanks to the shot of Akimov and Khasanov, the guests took the lead 2: 1 (Arekaev scored against the hosts). However, already in the 25th minute of the second period, Metallurg took the lead 3: 2 (the goals of Gladskikh and Kudermetov were separated by 73 seconds). Ruslan Nurtdinov put a spectacular point on the 57th minute in the majority.

400th Home Win

Metallurg welcomed Traktor on their ice on September 24, 2009, and won the anniversary match by a score of 4: 2 for the second year in a row. Perhaps this was the easiest victory, because during the match the hosts were leading “3: 0”. Chistov's quick goal in the 4th minute did not entail further rapid development. The next score had to wait a very long time - in the 38th minute Evgeny Varlamov doubled the result, and after 14 seconds Igor Radulov got the right to a bullet and converted it - 3: 0. Then, seven (!) seconds later, Dazhene closed the gap - 3: 1. Thus, 3 goals were scored in 21 seconds! At the 50th minute, Popov returned the intrigue, which remained until the very end. The result was summed up by Denis Khlystov, who hit the empty net with 9 seconds left.

500th Home Win

On January 5, 2014, Metallurg scored their five hundredth home victory, beating their future rival in the Gagarin Cup final 4: 2. Thanks to Ridderwall's double, Lev won after two periods - 2: 1. However, in the third period the hosts were able to catch up quite quickly - before the 50th minute they evened the score: Brent at 42nd, and also Ibragimov at 49th turned the tide of the game - 3: 2. The fourth goal was scored by the legendary Sergei Mozyakin.

600th Home Win

On March 24, 2017, Metallurg hosted Ak Bars in the first match of the Eastern Conference final, having achieved a 2: 1 victory in the second overtime. It took the inhabitants of Magnitogorsk a little more than three years to win a hundred more victories at home, and for the first time, the jubilee home victory was so significant for the hosts since it occurred during the Gagarin Cup playoffs.

700th Home Win

On January 7, 2022, Metallurg played their first home match in the New year, and they managed to survive in the game against Lokomotiv. In the first period, the team of Ilya Vorobyov managed to quickly turn the tide in their favor. The goal missed in the 3rd minute did not bother the hosts. The residents of the Urals quickly found the keys to Isaev's gate. And the majority helped them in this. Throwing in three goals in the first period, in the remaining 40 minutes Magnitogorsk successfully held back the opponent's onslaught. Juho Olkinuora saved 46 shots, repeating his personal best in the KHL. As a result, the final score was 3: 1. There is a seven hundredth victory on home ice!
