The fifth match of the playoffs between Omsk's "Avangard" and Magnitogorsk's "Metallurg" took place on Thursday, April 3, 2025.
In the first period, Avangard's game was lackluster. "Metallurg" was more often in front of Omsk's net. Avangard managed to escape with two penalties, but on the 14th minute, Korobkin opens the scoring. Then, with less than two minutes left in the period, "Metallurg" scores another goal, this time from Kozylov.
The second period saw little action, but Bush scored a goal for Avangard without much delay. The period, however, ended with a brawl, resulting in the ejections of Sharipzyanov, Bush, and Kamalov.
In the third period, both teams battled relentlessly, but no more goals were scored. With a minute left, Avangard removes its goalie for an extra attacker. Yet, another goal eluded them. With seconds remaining, Korobkin scores again into empty net, securing a 3-1 victory for Metallurg.
The series score now stands at 3-2 in favor of Avangard. The sixth game of the series will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025, in Omsk.
