Playoff Semifinal, April 3, 19:00, Pinki, Inbox Ice Arena.
Series score – 2:3.
With the opponent holding a minimal lead in the series, Oleg Tymchenko’s men will continue the battle on home ice.
The defeat in the previous meeting was quite bitter. It seemed that a collapse in the first half of the second period had jeopardized our team’s chances of success. However, the boys rallied and clawed back three goals before the second intermission.
Unfortunately, a significant advantage in shots during the final 20 minutes did not allow Kyiv Capitals to force the game into overtime, resulting in a narrow loss. Nevertheless, it is precisely this kind of momentum and mindset that is needed for today’s match to push the series to a decisive seventh game.
Notably, in the parallel series between Zemgale/LBTU and Liepaja, the score is tied at 3:3. Thus, for now, both spots in the final remain vacant.
