Spartak Moscow defeated Severstal Cherepovets 6-4 in regulation in a Club Friendly Games matchup. After a 2-2 tie through one, Spartak took control by winning each of the final two periods 2-1 to secure the result.
The opening period saw both teams put up a pair of goals. Spartak edged ahead in the second, 2-1, to make it 4-3, then repeated that margin in the third to close out the 6-4 victory.
Spartak's consistency was the difference: they scored exactly two goals in all three periods. Severstal matched that only in the first, and Spartak's steady output was enough to claim the game in regulation.
