It is worth noting the goalkeeper of the Mammoths, Vladimir Sokhatsky, who scored three crackers and is one of the best in this indicator in the current trophy of honor. The team started the series on its own ice and was stronger in the first match against the Ryazan club – 3:0, but in the second game they underestimated the opponent and lost 2:4 in the end.
