Facts of game three against Dynamo Moscow

Our third goal scored by defenseman Alexander Nikishin marked SKA's 250th against Dynamo Moscow in KHL history. Dynamo have consequently become the second club to concede a minimum of 250 markers against SKA in the league, following in the footsteps of fellow capital side CSKA (298).

Across 50 KHL matches between SKA and Dynamo in Saint Petersburg, both teams have earned 25 victories. The goal difference is 119-112 in SKA's favour.

Forward Vladimir Alistrov has registered 50 (16+34) points in 101 competitive SKA appearances.

Fellow forward Arseniy Gritsyuk has dished out 50 assists in 112 SKA games.

Yegor Zavragin became the third SKA goalkeeper in the KHL to make an assist both during one single regular season and Gagarin Cup playoff campaign. Previously, the 19-year-old had recorded an assist against CSKA (6:3) on 3 January. Mikko Koskinen (2016/2017) and Nikita Serebryakov (2023/2024) had initially achieved the same feat for our organisation.

For the first time in 12 years, forward Evgeny Kuznetsov scored a goal in the Gagarin Cup playoffs. His preceding playoff marker had been netted - incidentally against Dynamo - for Traktor Chelyabinsk on 7 April 2013.

Defenseman Ilya Karpukhin scored his first game-winner in the KHL playoffs. It took him 33 matches to achieve this.

Forward Arseniy Gritsyuk only needed five seconds to score on the powerplay for SKA in the first period. This was indeed the fifth occasion when our team required less than 10 seconds to hit the jackpot on the PP in the playoffs.
