SKA beat Avtomobilist for the first time in the quarterfinals of the Gagarin Cup. Nikita Serebryakov made 47 saves, two points by Alex Galchenyuk and a double by Marat Khairullin with shots into an empty net at the end.

KHL postponement of two matches initially scheduled for the weekend: Spartak - Metallurg in Moscow and Avangard - Lokomotiv in Omsk. The terrible tragedy that occurred on March 22 at Crocus City Hall made serious adjustments to the KHL calendar.
