The 2020/2021 KHL season is officially underway with AkBars Kazan taking home the KHL Opening Cup.

KHL season usually begins with the Opening Cup game between last year’s top teams. This time AkBars Kazan and CSKA Moscow met on the ice to ring the bells for the new season.

CSKA arrived right on time as they were first to get on board. Two nice passes from Slepyshev and Loktionov to find Dmitry Samorukov who made sure to score after an iffy play by AkBars goalie Reideborn. That gave the debutant the fastest goal in Opening cup history just 51 seconds into the game. Both teams exchanged chances during the 1st period but the score remained unchanged. Shots on goal 10:10.

Slow start of the 2nd period until CSKA Moscow decided that they would like to practice playing shorthanded for future games. Five minutes into the second a cross-checking call ended up giving AkBars their power-play goal to tie up the game. Then a little over a minute later another penalty kill that they took care of. AkBars earned two penalties of their own but CSKA’s man-advantage had nothing to show for it. The game tied 1:1 after two periods.

3rd period began with CSKA pushing for a lead and it ended up giving them what they wanted. A mistake by AkBars in the neutral zone, Loktionov quickly finds Slepyshev who gave CSKA a 2:1 lead.

Just short while after that another chance for Slepyshev to extend their lead with a penalty shot but it’s not good. The puck slips off the stick and goes wide of the net. AkBars tried to gather their game with some dangerous attacks and it resulted in a goal for them to tie the game and luckily for them CSKA took an unnecessary penalty towards the end of regulation granting the guest side and the home team at least a point each.

An early offensive by AkBars but it got cut short as Stephen DaCosta skated into the opponents stick and got sent to the box called for interference. However, it meant nothing – AkBars Voronkov with the game-winning goal in OT.
