Teams started the game with a great energy, exchanging penalties, creating chances and battling,battling. Our powerplay didn’t go well. Nikolai Kovalenko with a shorthanded goal opened the scoreboard. With 10 seconds left to play in the third Jordan Weal with a beautiful sole move tied the game.

In the second we got the first lead of the game when Maxim Dzhioshvili with a backhand scored on powerplay. In few moments Torpedo tied it up.
