SKA – CSKA. Facts of game five

SKA’s first goal was our team’s 300^th in 103 KHL Gagarin Cup playoff home games.

Furthermore, the second marker was SKA’s 50^th of these playoffs.

Dmitry Nikolaev’s 57 appearances during one single KHL campaign is a new record among goalkeepers for SKA.

Evgeny Ketov became the first SKA forward to participate in 100 KHL playoff matches for SKA. Interestingly, 34 of them have been against CSKA Moscow.

So far this season, SKA have scored 10 goals after pulling the goalkeeper in favour of the extra skater. However, at the same time, our players have conceded 11 empty-netters.

Forward Alexander Volkov tallied his third marker for SKA in the current campaign when playing without the goalkeeper. He has consequently equalled the club record which was previously set by Maxim Sushinsky (2008/2009) and Tony Martensson (2011/2012).

SKA have conceded 40 goals during these KHL playoffs, a new anti-record. Moreover, this marked the maiden occasion when SKA let in seven markers in a home playoff match in the league.
