SKA - CSKA. Facts of game two

34 home wins (29 in regulation time, four in overtime and one in a penalty shootout) during a single KHL campaign is a new club record for SKA. The previous record was set in the 2016/2017 season, when SKA tallied 33 victories on home ice in Saint Petersburg. It has taken our team 41 home games to reach 34 wins.

Forward Valentin Zykov became the 20th SKA player to score a minimum of one goal in these Gagarin Cup playoffs, a new record for our organisation. 18 different players had hit the jackpot in the 2013 and 2022 KHL playoffs.

Boasting 97 appearances to his name, Evgeny Ketov has participated in more KHL playoff matches for SKA than any other forward. Nevertheless, the overall record still belongs to defenseman Dinar Khafizullin, who competed in 103 playoff games in the league for SKA.

Fellow forward Nikita Gusev has now played in 368 competitive games for our club.

In 150 KHL matches, defenseman Stepan Falkovsky has picked up 56 (20+36) points. 36 (12+24) have been registered in 108 SKA games.

Forward Mikhail Vorobyov has netted four KHL playoff goals for SKA. Interestingly, SKA have won every playoff match in which he has scored. Two of his markers so far have turned out to be game-winnners.
