Lokomotiv - SKA - 0:2

In Yaroslavl, SKA completed this 2018/2019 KHL away series with a victory, breezing past HC Lokomotiv 2:0.

After a goalless first period, the visitors opened the scoring, as Nikolai Prokhorkin hit the jackpot from a tight angle on the crease. In the driving seat, SKA pressed for more, netting a second with Viktor Tikhonov drifting past the Lokomotiv defence and beating goalkeeper Ilya Konovalov with a superb solo effort through the five hole.

Boasting a comfortable advantage, SKA duly kept Lokomotiv on the sidelines in a rather uneventful third period, sealing a well-deserved 2:0 triumph with goalkeeper Igor Shestyorkin registering a second consecutive shutout! The next match will take place against HC Sibir Novosibirsk on September 26.
