le=”margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0″> Spartak Moscow vs. Neftkhimik Nizhnekamsk 2:2
Goals: 1:0 Chernov 3 (Bezrukov, 8.10 pp.), 2:0 Klevakhine 4 (Boichenko, Bezrukov, 47. 08), 2:1 Muratov 4 (Smirnov, 50.51), 2:2 Rasolkov 1 (52.13).
Dynamo
Moscow vs. Amur
Khabarovsk 2:2
Goals: 0:1 Krivokrasov 7 (Naumov, 12.45), 1:1 Kudashov 6 (Semak, 14.35, pp.), 2:1 Vorobiev 6 (Kartsev, 18.29), 2:2 Krivokrasov 8 (Peresyalov, Naumov, 30.08).
Prospect Notes: Dallas Stars prospect Alexei Tereschenko and 2004 NHL Entry Draft prospect Alexander Ovechkin missed the game due to various injuries. The first strained his knee and the second had an operation on his thigh muscle. Boston Bruins prospect Vladislav Evseev made his Super League debut with Dynamo as a replacement for the missing Ovechkin. He looked good, though at times lost, unable to fully read his teammates. This was to be expected because Vlad never played at the Super League level before. This marked the completion of his return from a recurring shoulder injury last year. Welcome Back!!!
Avangard Omsk vs. Ak Bars Kazan 4:2
Goals: 1:0 Ryabikin 5 (Patera, 12.10), 2:0 Prokopiev 5 (Sushinski, Zatonski, 29.53), 2:1 Zinovjev 6 (Gogolev, 33.54), 2:2 Kvartalnov 9 (Korolyuk, Benda, 38.47), 3:2 Prokhazka 6 (Perezhogin, 39.31), 4:2 Prokhazka 7 (Patera, 57.14, pp.)
Prospect Notes: Boston Bruins prospect Sergei Zinovjev had a great game. He created several scoring chances, but his linemates could not convert. The reunited Zinovjev – Gogolev former Spartak Moscow duo seems to be working out for Ak Bars. Montreal Canadiens prospect Alexander Perezhogin played on Avangard’s Czech line with Prokhazka and Patera. He did not look out of place with the two – though they mainly played with each other instead of with him – same as last year with Dallas Stars prospect Artem Chernov, who was on the fourth line with Calgary Flames prospect Sergei Tarakukhin
Molot Prikamye vs. CSKA Moscow 3:2
Goals: Potapov (Sokolov, Gareev – 13:27) 1:0; Savchuk (Khaidarov, Zherebtsev -15:59) 2:0; Semin (Leschev, Mukhachev- 29:14) 2:1; Mukhachev (Pronin, Drozdetsky – 52:45) 2:2; Dubrovsky (Tatarinov, Gareev – 56:00) 3:2;
Prospect Notes: Philadelphia Flyers prospect Alexander Drozdetsky and St. Louis Blues prospect Alexei Shkotov played on the same line and worked well together as a speedy tandem. Drozdetsky assisted on CSKA’s game tying goal, but then cost them the game when called for high sticking. The team fought off the penalty by let in a goal just six seconds after getting back on even. At one point in the first period they got a rush on Svoboda, but the goalie held his ground. 2003 NHL Entry Draft prospect Alexander Kosmachev made his way back into CSKA’s lineup from an injury, but got level by the American wells – who bent the glass support on the boards with the force of the collision! 2003 NHL Entry Draft prospect Nikolai Zherdev was once again his impressive self. On at least two occasions he set up his linemates – mainly Leschev, and they could not convert on breakaways.
Lada
Togliatti vs. Mechel Chelyabinsk 1:0
Goals: Gardiner (Pavlov – 30:03) 1:0;
Prospect Notes: Detroit Red Wings prospect Igor Grigorenko had another solid game and almost scored on a couple of occasions around half way through the first period and early in the second. . Washington Capitals prospect Alexander Syemin was also playin well – though he was mainly trying to set up his line mates, who failed to convert on his nice threads.
SKA St. Petersburg vs. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 3:2 OT
Goals: Guskov (V. Antipov 6:19) 0:1; V. Shakhraichuk (A. Kovalenko, V. Butsayev 21:42) 0:2; N. Syirtsov (32:19) 1:2; Akifiev (A. Gelchenyuk, A. Galushkin 42:20) 2:2; Kozyirev (Makarov 63:15) 3:2
Severstal Cherpovets vs. Soviet Wings 6:0
Goals: Gusev – 2, 19:02 (1:0). Torgaev – 1 (Shinin), 29:00 (2:0). Berdnikov – 8 (Gusev, Kuznetsov), 40:44 (3:0). Kuznetsov – 6 (Berdnikov, Kalyuzhni), 44:43 (4:0). Berdnikov – 9 (Kuznetsov , Kalyuzhni), 47:29 (5:0 – pp.). Balmochnykh – 1 (Shefer, Epanchintsev), 50:08 (6:0 – pp.).
Prospect News: 2003 NHL Entry Draft prospect Alexander Shinin scored his first point of the season. New Jersey Devils prospect Maxim Balmochnykh seems to be coming around. He scored his first of the season and played a solid role in Severstal’s win in the previous tour.
Salavat Yulayev vs. Metallurg Magnitagorsk 1:1
Goals: Baranov- 2 (Gorshkov), 5:35 (1:0), Ignatov – 2 (Davyidov, Kaigorodov ), 17:52 (1:1 – áîë.)
Prospect News: Philadelphia Flyers prospect Konstantin Baranov scored his second goal of the season – both of them have been with Savalat Yulayev since the November transfer period. It seems he is responding very well to the responsibility given to him by Salavat’s head coach Sergei Nikolayev. He probably the best forward on the ice for both teams.
