Metallurg led 1-0 after the first and stretched that advantage to 4-0 by the second intermission. The third period was scoreless, as Zhlobin managed the game out and preserved the shutout.
The defining number was the three goals in the middle period, which turned a tight one-goal game into a rout. Metallurg's defensive work in the final frame sealed the clean sheet.
