HC Magnitka Magnitogorsk took a 5-0 regulation win over Chelmet Chelyabinsk, putting the game away before the opening frame was two minutes old. Magnitka never trailed, and Chelmet had no answer as the hosts dictated the pace throughout.
Magnitka scored at 1:00 and 2:00 to jump ahead 2-0, then extended the lead on a 21:00 goal in the second period. Two more third-period goals, at 46:00 and 49:00, finished the scoring and made the running margin 5-0 by the final buzzer.
The standout number was the clean result: Magnitka scored in all three periods and held Chelmet off the board over full regulation. The early burst proved decisive, effectively settling the night before Chelmet could establish any forecheck or zone time.
