Facts of SKA's fifth match of the first KHL playoff round

Andrei Pedan scored SKA's 2000th goal in away KHL matches. It took our team 638 games to reach this landmark. Furthermore, it's worth noting that no other league club has yet netted 2000 goals on the road.

Pedan is only the fourth SKA defenseman to score in two consecutive Gagarin Cup playoff games, following in the footsteps of Dmitry Kalinin (2012), Patrik Hersley (2017) and Andrei Zubarev (2017).

For the first time in the KHL playoffs, SKA ended a series with defensemen having tallied more goals than forwards. 

Fellow defenseman Yegor Savikov has registered 73 (15+58) points across 250 KHL games, with 24 (5+19) of them having been gained in 52 SKA appearances.

CSKA Moscow forward Denis Guryanov set a new record with regard to the amount of goals scored against SKA in one single KHL playoff series with six markers on the board.

While playing in the Gagarin Cup playoffs, fellow CSKA forward Nikolai Kovalenko has dished out 12 assists.

Igor Nikitin boasts more Gagarin Cup playoff wins (91) than any other coach.
