Facts of SKA's first victory over CSKA in this year's Gagarin Cup playoffs

Nikolai Goldobin made his 400th KHL appearance. The forward has recorded 326 (137+189) points to date, with 49 (17+32) of them having been gained in 61 SKA games.

Yegor Savikov has picked up 24 (5+19) points across 50 competitive SKA matches, making him our team's leading scorer among defensemen this season.

On his Gagarin Cup playoff debut, Sergei Ivanov stopped all 22 shots which he faced to earn a shutout! Sergei is indeed the second SKA goalkeeper to mark his first KHL playoff game with a clean sheet, following in the footsteps of Alexander Salak who incidentally also shut out CSKA Moscow by the same score of 1:0 in 2014.

Furthermore, Ivanov is also the first SKA goalkeeper in the KHL to register two shutouts against CSKA in one single campaign! The 21-year-old had previously prevented these particular opponents from scoring on 21 February in Saint Petersburg (3:0).

It's also worth noting that four shutouts during one KHL season is a personal best for Ivanov.
