Hawks Claw Their Way Back in Quarter-Finals
In a thrilling turn of events, "Avangard" managed to draw the series level against "Locomotive" in the Gagarin Cup quarter-finals. This nail-biting contest took place in Omsk, where "Avangard" played host to Yaroslavl's "Locomotive."
The match commenced with "Avangard" scoring the first goal of the night, thanks to Yevgeny Kulik, assisted by Vladimir Tkachev and Nikolai Prokhorkin. The second period was uneventful with a missed penalty shot by Ryan Spooner of the "hawks."
But the action picked up in the closing minutes when Nailey Yakupov scored the second goal for "Avangard," with Konstantin Okulov and Ryan Spooner setting him up.
In the game's dying moments, "Avangard's" Reid Boucher capitalized on an empty net, adding a third goal for the Siberians. The visitors failed to retaliate, resulting in a 3-0 victory for "Avangard" and a tie in the series at 3-3.
