From landmark successes to a record-breaking seven-game hot streak, there were plenty of memorable gamedays in 2024/25. Read on for a few of our favorites (with apologies to any SKA sympathizers).
Dynamo Moscow (a), Sep. 4, 2024
It’s always good to start the right way – and a win on the road in the opening game ticked that box. But this wasn’t just about kicking off the campaign with two points. It was our first ever win over Dynamo in regulation, and our first at the Muscovites’ arena. An impressive debut goal from Nail Yakupov turned out to be the game-winner, while Colin Campbell grabbed a shorthanded tally and Parker Foo finished the job as Dynamo contrived to lose possession as goalie Hunter Miska was trying to get off the ice for a sixth skater.
Severstal (a), Oct. 11, 2024
This was a game of firsts. A first win in Cherepovets. A first shut-out against Severstal, and a first shut-out for Kyle Keyser. Jayden Halbgewachs first point, swiftly followed by his first goal. Typically, Severstal is a tough opponent for us but on this visit we enjoyed a convincing win. It owed a good deal to Halbgewachs. Our summer signing took some time to adapt to the KHL, but this was the day he announced himself on the big stage. Two minutes in, Jayden set up Tomas Jurco for the opening goal before the pair traded places in the second for Jurco to set up a first KHL goal for our Canadian. After that, Keyser came to the fore, producing two highlight reel moments among his 41 saves.
CSKA (h), Jan. 10
Another 3-0 win and another goalie recording a first shut-out for the Dragons. This time it was Patrik Rybar marking his debut by blanking the Muscovites. And that set up a record-breaking sixth successive victory for Mikhail Kravets’ team; our best streak in KHL play (a shoot-out win in the following game at Lada improved the run to seven). With 37 saves, Rybar rebounded after being placed on waivers by Spartak and backstopped a memorable victory. At the other end, two goals from Spencer Foo set us on the way before Tyler Graovac found the empty net with our only shot of the third period.
Salavat Yulaev (a), Oct. 1
We had two impressive wins against the team that finished second in the Eastern Conference. But the 5-2 road win at the start of October was memorable for a few reasons. First, this was an impressive fightback. Down 0-2 at the second intermission, things looked pretty…
