Russia - Finland 2-3

Home ice pressure doesn’t faze Petri Kontiola. His two goals led Finland to a 3-2 win over Russia, which continued to struggle after its astonishing 2-1 loss to France the day before. Kontiola led the KHL playoffs in scoring with 19 points in 25 games for Traktor Chelyabinsk, and he looked eminently comfortable against Russia’s stars. Juhamatti Aaltonen added the eventual second-period winner and an assist for Finland, and Sami Lepistö chipped in two assists.
