After the break, the net of Salavat Yulaev was defended by Andrei Kareyev. And then something incredible began on the ice. Mikhail Yunkov reduced a gap in the score. And then Igor Makarov before the eyes of his wife Lera Kudryavtseva got into a fight. After a few seconds Teemu Hartikainen capitalized on the power play and scored the second goal - 2: 2.

In the third period Salavat Yulaev continued to dictate its play. The third goal was organized by the starting line: Hartikainen and Arzamastsev provided assists to Joonas Kemppainen to complete them with an accurate strike - 3: 2.
