CSKA defeated Ak Bars 3-0 in the final series of the Gagarin Cup. Mikhail Grigorenko scored the 12th goal in the current playoffs.

The only goal in equal compositions of the Muscovites was recorded by Maxim Sorkin. Sergei Fedorov's wards suffered a particularly painful defeat in September last year as part of the regular season. The last time they defeated Kazan in Moscow was back in 2019, and in the playoffs in 2018, when the team was led by Igor Nikitin.
