The game in Ufa was tough and pretty hectic for both teams. The first and second stanza were full of nice chances for both clubs to score, however, both Salavat Yulaev and Barys players were unable to capitalize those chances. Igor Mirnov scored the opener in the beginning of the third period and helped his teammates take a 1-0 lead. Nigel Dawes blasted the first puck for Barys on the 55th minute of the game. Salavat Yulaev scored their second goal right after that. Barys captain Dmitry Upper responded with a beautiful goal with just 10 seconds on the clock. Sadly for Barys fans, Salavat Yulaev put the game away by scoring their third goal in overtime. Game 5 will bring back both teams to Astana on March 27.
