Omsk “Avangard” won a “dry” victory over “Neftekhimik”

Omsk “Avangard” won a difficult away victory over “Neftekhimik” in the match of the regular championship of the KHL on October 8. The meeting in Nizhnekamsk ended with the score 1: 0, and the only puck was thrown by Mikhail Gulyaev.

The goal came in the 12th minute of the first period after Joshua Livo's throw. Gulyaev was on the finishing line and sent the puck to the gate of Yaroslav Ozolin. However, the coaching staff of Neftekhimik doubted the correctness of taking the goal and requested a video view, pointing to a possible obstacle to the goalkeeper.

After checking, the judges left the goal in force. In the future, the Omics retained a minimal advantage, despite the pressure of the opponent. Avant-garde goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov reflected 42 shots and for the first time in the season played by zero.

After the victory, the team scored 12 points and climbed to eighth place in the Eastern Conference of the KHL.
