UFA, 6 December 2018. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

On December 5, Linus Omark returned to the location of HC Salavat Yulaev and the coaching staff decided not to experiment, but to restore the foreign players line in the game with Slotan (Bratislava). Grigory Panin also returned to the ranks and took part in organizing the first goal in this match: Philip Larsen accomplished the assist. After 32 seconds, the second goal against the hosts was scored by Egor Dubrovsky.

But for a minute, Juha Metsola missed two goals, thereby allowing Salavat Yulaev to lose its double advantage. However, the Ufa residents Pyotr Khokhryakov and Dmitry Kugryshev again led Salavat Yulaev ahead - 2: 4.

After the second break, Kugryshev again distinguished himself: the forward tripped the opponent and delivered an accurate shot. The forward scored a double and the 90th puck of the Ufa club in the 11th season of the KHL. The hosts failed to answer the guests adequately - 2: 5.

Salavat Yulaev goes to Riga with two points. A match with the local HC Dinamo will be held on Friday, December 7.
