Snezhnye Barsy Unable to Continue Winning Streak

Today, Snezhnye Barsy and Molot met for the second time as part of the Astana side’s October home series. Unfortunately, the hosts were unable to repeat their success from the previous game, falling to the Perm-based club 3:4.

The visitors opened the scoring. Following a pass from Mikhail Kalashnikov, Gleb Melnikov fired an accurate shot past Kirill Mylnikov. Five minutes before the end of the opening period, the hosts tied the game. Vladislav Anufriev picked up the puck after breaking into the slot and sent it low into Timofey Vorobyov’s net.

Both teams spent considerable time in the penalty box during the second period. Each side was assessed six minutes in penalties over the course of the 20 minutes. The visitors made the most of their numerical advantage, with Dmitry Dubrovsky restoring Molot’s lead. However, the Barsy responded with a spectacular goal. Timur Mindubayev skated unchallenged into the middle of the opposition zone and scored his team’s second goal with just three seconds remaining in the period.

Midway through the third period, Daniil Korotaev put the visitors ahead again, firing a quick shot into the near corner of Kirill Mylnikov’s net. Molot soon extended their lead. Alexander Malyshev scored the visitors’ fourth goal following a pass from the aforementioned Dmitry Dubrovsky. With 27 seconds remaining, Vladislav Anufriev scored his second goal of the game to cut the deficit, but the score remained unchanged after that.
