In the military derby, the SKA was stronger again: Torpedo beat Barys.
Four KHL regular season games were played on November 20. Let’s summarize them.
Does anyone else remember that less than a month ago Magnitogorsk was in crisis and lost five games in a row? It seems as if this never happened: now the Steelworkers have once again gained incredible momentum, approaching the home game against Siberia on a seven-win streak. The Novosibirsk team, which is experiencing big problems this season, could not oppose Andrei Razin’s team: at the end of the second half, the hosts solved all the problems, scoring three goals without response to Anton Krasotkin, and in the last third He resisted the opponent’s onslaught, exchanging goals with him. 4:1 – Metallurg achieved its eighth consecutive victory and strengthened its lead in the East.

Lada tries to keep up with the Magnitogorsk team; After two away defeats, he returned to Tolyatti to host Dynamo Minsk. The Belarusians received a warm welcome from Dmitry Kugryshev, who opened the scoring in the second minute of the match. Despite the absence of the two Canadian leaders, Troy Josephs and Scott Kosmachuk, the hosts not only maintained their advantage, but also reinforced it. At the end of the second half the score was 3:0, and in the third half the Minsk team only managed one goal. 3:1 – Lada continues to strengthen its position at the top of the Eastern table.

The Nizhny Novgorod team has not been encouraging with stability lately, but in the match against the consistently bad Barys, Igor Larionov’s gang took its toll. Although the automakers began to separate themselves from their opponents only after the middle of the match, scoring three goals against the Kazakh team in the second twenty minutes. This was enough for the final victory: Barys slightly reduced the gap eight and a half minutes before the end, but could not counter anything else. 4:2: Pretty safe victory for Torpedo.

CSKA came to St. Petersburg to avenge the defeat in the first military derby of the season, but today’s hosts had their own plans. Shortly before the end of the first half, Vasily Glotov put his team ahead, scoring in almost the same style that he scored against Ak Bars several games ago. In the second third, SKA doubled the lead: Andrei Chivilev confidently took care of Ivan Fedotov a few seconds after leaving the area.
The Muscovites had a chance to convert a power play five minutes into Valentin Zykov’s ejection, but failed to do so and subsequently failed to make any shots. CSKA pulled one goal back shortly before the final siren sounded, but even that wasn’t enough to send the match into extra time. 2:1: The second military derby of the season will also be held at SKA.
