The Minsk Bisons faced HC Lokomotiv Yaroslavl away on 21 January, in what was captain Andrei Stas’ 500th match for the club. The scoreboard remained untouched through two periods, as the Minsk side squandered two power plays in the middle frame. HC Dinamo Minsk finally opened the scoring at the start of the third period thanks to Nikita Pyshkailo, only for the home side to strike back a mere 20 seconds later. With the game looking certain to go to overtime, HC Lokomotiv Yaroslavl managed to grab a last-gasp winner in the final minute, sealing a 2-1 victory.
As a result, Dmitri Kvartalnov’s squad earned four points from a possible eight in this away series.
