Liga Stavok Sochi Hockey Open. Sochi - SKA - 4:6

6 August 2023

In the third game of the 2023 Liga Stavok Sochi Hockey Open, SKA initially squandered a three-goal advantage against the competition hosts, but our players did subsequently manage to emerge victorious by a score of 6:4.

First-period goals from Pavel Dedunov, Arseniy Gritsyuk, Svyatoslav Grebenshchikov and Kirill Tankov put SKA in a commanding position. However, in the ensuing second stanza, the home team suddenly managed to tally three consecutive markers, with the third being scored with a mere 31 seconds remaining before the break.

Nonetheless, with Nikolai Polyakov (shorthanded) and Gritsyuk netting in the third period, SKA claimed their maiden win of the competition.

In accordance with the tournament regulations, an overtime period and a penalty shootout were held regardless. Sochi scored in overtime, but SKA did steal the shootout with Sergei Tolchinsky hitting the jackpot twice.

On Tuesday, at 19:30 Moscow time, SKA will face the Russian national team in the concluding game of the tournament.
