Teams played twice during pre-season and both times Amur was better than Dynamo troops. After three wins in a row Alexei Kudashov made a number of changes in the lineup. Nikita Buruyanov and Vladislav Kodola returned to the ice.

Dynamo kept their own game pressing on every piece of the ice. In the end of the first Amur had a powerplay opportunity however we survived it and with 10 seconds left to play in the period Eric O’Dell gave us a 1-0 lead.

In the second period we played smart matching shifts of the opponents. Long game without stoppage ended when O’Dell scored his second of the night.
