Krylya Sovetov vs Amurskie Tigry

Amurskie Tigry wasted no time seizing control. On their first power play at 06:46, Sergey Kulyushin opened the scoring from a Danila Semikhin feed, with Yaroslav Matiev drawing the secondary assist. Less than eleven minutes later, Daniil Anatsky doubled the lead at 17:52, again with Semikhin providing the primary helper alongside Maxim Tatiankin.

The second period followed the same script. Yaroslav Matiev unleashed a heavy slap shot from the blue line at 24:20 on another power play for 3-0, and Evgeny Samsonov made it 4-0 at 31:40 — the Tigers' third power-play goal of the afternoon. The goal prompted Krylya Sovetov to pull starting goaltender Khodin in favour of Nikolai Styopin.

Artyom Voylukov rounded out the scoring at 51:10 in the third period, finishing from close range off feeds from Kachinsky and Epshtein.

An additional overtime period was played after the final whistle as a pre-season arrangement, where Nikita Morozov beat Lemeshko; the shootout ended 1-1.

The game turned inside the opening seven minutes. Krylya Sovetov carried confidence from Saturday's 3-2 shootout win, but Kulyushin's power-play strike silenced the home bench. Crucially, the hosts failed to respond before the first intermission. A 2-0 deficit after one period gave the visitors complete control.

• Kirill Lemeshko (Amurskie Tigry) — The goaltender, who joined the team only the day before, stopped all shots to record a clean sheet on debut. He was beaten only in the extra overtime period.
• Danila Semikhin (Amurskie Tigry) — Four primary assists (06:46, 17:52, 24:20, 31:40), an "assist poker" that set up three of the five goals — all three power-play strikes.
• Yaroslav Matiev (Amurskie Tigry) — One goal (24:20) and two assists, including the booming blue-line goal that made it 3-0.
• Sergey Kulyushin, Daniil Anatsky, Evgeny Samsonov, Artyom Voylukov (Amurskie Tigry) — Each found the net, with Samsonov and Kulyushin both scoring on the power play.

Player of the Match: Danila Semikhin (4 assists)

The 5-0 scoreline reflects a total mismatch on special teams. Amurskie Tigry converted three of their power-play opportunities in the first 32 minutes, while Krylya Sovetov failed to generate any meaningful response on the man advantage. The hosts made a goaltending change at 4-0, but the damage was done. With three power-play goals inside two periods, Amurskie Tigry ended the contest before the final frame. The period-by-period scoreboard (0:2, 0:2, 0:1) tells a story of sustained territorial dominance.

Amurskie Tigry secured their first victory of the 2026 pre-season (since early August), bouncing back from four losses in their previous five friendlies. For Krylya Sovetov, the result is a sobering comedown after Saturday's shootout win over the same opponent — they have now lost four of their last six pre-season fixtures since 5 August.

Next fixtures:

• Krylya Sovetov host Spartak MAKH on 20 August at 16:30 MSK.
• Amurskie Tigry face MHL Spartak in further friendlies on 19 and 21 August.

A clinical performance from Amurskie Tigry, who corrected their discipline issues from the day before and punished Krylya Sovetov ruthlessly on the power play. Lemeshko's composed debut and Semikhin's creative masterclass suggest the Tigers may have found the right chemistry ahead of the MHL season. For Krylya Sovetov, the defensive frailties exposed on special teams will be a clear focus ahead of their remaining pre-season schedule.
