HC Barys Astana destroy CSKA, top Eastern Conference

Vey struck twice in the second period, as the host wiped out Kirill Petrov's early strike with a four-goal blast to take control of the game. Talgat Zhailauov tied the game a minute after the intermission, then Vey scored in the 24th and 29th minutes to open a 3-1 lead. Martin St.Pierre, Barys' game-winner last time out, added a fourth - assisted by Vey - to delight a 10,000 crowd.

But CSKA wasn't finished just yet and hit back with two goals in the beginning of the third period. Mikhail Pashnin and Alexander Popov ensured a tense end of the match but as soon as he found the empty net the Canadian forward of Barys scored again securing the victory for his team.
