The weekly compilation of the best goals kicks off with Artyom Galimov`s («Ak Bars») goal, assisted by Kirill Semyonov, in a game against «Barys». In ninth place is Mikhail Fyodorov`s goal («Metallurg») after a brilliant pass from Evgeny Kuznetsov, while eighth features a superb «Barys» team play culminating in Semyon Simonov`s goal. Seventh place goes to Ilya Talaluyev («Amur»), who skillfully navigated the opponent`s crease. Sixth is awarded to Xavier Ouellet («Dynamo» Minsk) – the defenseman deftly evaded an opponent at the blue line and sent the puck precisely into the top corner.

Fifth place is claimed by Cedric Paquette («Dynamo» Moscow), who bypassed a defenseman and beat the goalie with a backhand shot. In fourth place is the magnificent teamwork of Spartak`s duo, Egor Filin and Lucas Lockhart – just look at Filin`s astonishing pass! Third place is awarded to Alexander Radulov`s goal («Lokomotiv») in a match against SKA. Second goes to Valery Orekhov («Metallurg»).
