05.01.2014, 07:00 • Platinum Arena • Shaun Nicolaides

That's the final buzzer, and it's a wonderful 6-1 win for SKA! A match that they completely dominated from start to finish. Evgeniy Skachkov opened the scoring and on a shorthanded counterattack Evgeniy Ketov made it two nil, but Alexander Yunkov replied for Amur seconds later. SKA weren't to be denied though, and Artemiy Panarin got a stunning hat trick before Vadim Shipachyov got in on the act. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me later for Salavat Yulaev versus CSKA and Dynamo Moscow against Barys! (09:08:42)

Amur in their last six outings have shared out their wins and losses out fairly, three of each, but they will be full of confidence after Friday's big win against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. SKA are on a poor run of form with only one win in their last six, and will be looking to get back on track today.
