SKA - Spartak - 2:3 OT

SKA conceded a bitter 2:3 defeat to HC Spartak Moscow in overtime in the 2019/2020 KHL regular season at the Saint Petersburg Ice Palace.

In the first period, Dmitry Vishnevsky and Robin Hanzl gifted Spartak a two-goal lead, but SKA responded in the second as Anton Burdasov scored his maiden marker for our club after returning.

Vladimir Tkachyov lashed in the equaliser at the start of the third frame.
