Torpedo - SKA - 2:3
In Nizhny Novgorod, SKA proved too strong for HC Torpedo, emerging victorious to make it seven consecutive wins on the bounce in the 2019/2020 KHL regular season.
Jarno Koskiranta and Joonas Kemppainen both scored in the first period. However, Torpedo soon came back, and they levelled the score at 2:2 during the second stanza.
Nevertheless, at the end of the third period, Jori Lehtera's pass was inadvertently deflected into the net to give SKA a dramatic 3:2 win!
SKA will next play on Saturday against Salavat Yulaev in Ufa, Bashkortostan.
