Cedric Paquette's hat-trick in 370 seconds and Mikhail Berdin's two passes: the main events of the week in the KHL. SKA interrupted the winning streak and updated the club's anti-record, conceding nine goals in Omsk.
Avangard lost to Metallurg in the battle of the leaders of the East, allowing Danila Yurov to equalize the score moments before the end of the third period. CSKA suffered four defeats in a row and almost lost their chance of a high seed in the playoffs.
