Loko will need Game Seven against MVD
Published 10 April, 2010, 11:02
It has all gone down to the wire in the first KHL semi-final. Lokomotiv could have booked their Gagarin Cup final place on Friday, but MVD again showed they are not there just to make up the numbers.
he Moscow region outfits ensured that Game Seven will be needed to sort the series out, as the game score became three-apiece.
The Yaroslavl team were all out attack on home ice, but it was MVD that scored, relishing their every opportunity.
The Policemen were 2-0 up thanks two goals from Aleksey Ugarov and Maksim Soloviev, both scored when their opponents were on powerplay.
Loko’s Andrey Kiryukhin managed to get one back two-and-a-half minutes from the end of the final period, 2-1.
But it was all the last year’s runners-up could achieve on the night, as Yury Babenko scored into an empty net, sealing the deal for MVD, 3-1.
“Our opponents created three chances and scored three goals on Friday. But we just couldn’t find the net. This is the reason for Lokomotiv’s loss. I can’t say that MVD’s netminder was great, we just couldn’t hit the target,” Aleksey Mikhnov, Loko forward, told KHL’s official website.
The decisive Game Seven is to take place on MVD ice on Sunday.
Defending champions Ak Bars are battling for supremacy against Salavat Yulaev in the other Last Four series.
