SKA started the first game after break in Yaroslavl on Thursday and a matchup with Lokomotiv. Their offense didn't get the memo, as they failed to score a goal in the game. For most of the game, it was their defense that carried the game, and certainly, Alexander Salak deserved a better result than he did, as SKA held Lokomotiv off the board for two periods. Emil Galimov broke the tie early in the third period and Sergei Plotinkov added an empty net goal to hand SKA a loss to start the second stanza. Saturday, the offense showed up enough to get past Atlant 2-1. Alexander Kucheryavenko made it 1-0 SKA after one period, but Alexander Kadeikin would score the equalizer in the second period. Viktor Tikhonov would score early in the third period, and Salak would make it stand up, giving SKA three points in the standings.
SKA is home for the week, and they get their first chance at revenge on Monday as Lokomitv comes into town. Severstal arrives for a Wednesday game, Traktor will be looking for revenge on Friday, and Neftekhimik will look to gain some momentum on Sunday.
