Salavat Yulaev equalized score in series with Avangard: rivals move to Ufa

The second match of the Salavat Yulaev - Avangard series started from the attack of guests from Bashkortostan. 30 minutes of the match were almost dictated by the Ufa team, which resulted in a goal in the 31st minute. Gregory Panin was unconventionally in the offensive zone and turned home a pass by Linus Omark and Temu Hartikainen.

Salavat Yulaev lost concentration and received a return puck, which initially bounced off the goal post of Juha Metsola. Semen Koshelev equalized in 26 seconds. The rivals left for the second break with a score of 1: 1.

After the 51st minute, the wards of Nikolai Tsulygin had to play from behind. The Finnish goalkeeper of Salavat Yulaev failed to save an offensive and unexpected goal. Pavel Dedunov brought the “hawks” forward - 2: 1.

Two minutes before the final siren, the Salavat Yulaev team was six on the ice and without a goalkeeper. In time-out, coach Tomi Lams talked to the powerplay team. And again, the unpredictability of Salavat Yulaev worked out. Six seconds before the end, Sakari Manninen turned the match to overtime.

It took seven minutes for the “green car” to equalize in the series 1-1. Dmitry Kugryshev scored the winning puck into the net of Igor Bobkov from a zero angle - 2: 3. Teams move to Ufa, where they will play on March 5 and 7.
