Taifun lost to Russkie Vityazi in a tough fight

On October 16, Taifun played a second match in Balashikha against Russkie Vityazi. The day before, the Primorye team lost to the home team with a score of 1:3.
In the return match, Ilgiz Nuriyev's players outplayed their opponents in many components, but lost anyways.
Russkie Vityazi opened the scoring towards the middle of the opening period. Taifun responded at the beginning of the second period: Roman Strochkin scored a goal in the minority after an excellent combination with Stepan Levitsky. Levitsky fought for the puck, passed it to Strochkin, and he put his body down and reached the near post – 1:1. Inspired by the goal scored, the Primorye team converted many men advantage twice in a row. Ivan Fomin, after a feint, made a flat pass to the goal to Plaksin, who scored immediately. A couple of minutes later, Maxim Gordiyuk hit the empty corner from the crease – 1:3. But before going to the second intermission, the hosts reduced the gap in the score – 2:3.
At the start of the third period, the Vityazi scored twice – the first goal during the power play, and then the team's best sniper scored a hat-trick – 4:3. So the hosts took the lead again. In the last minutes of the period, Taifun stormed the opponent's goal, and when there was very little time left, decided to replace the goalkeeper with a sixth field player. For the second day in a row, the trick did not work, and the fifth puck ended up in an empty net. The match result was 5:3.
Russkie Vityazi remain an extremely inconvenient opponent for Taifun, the Primorye team has not managed to beat them since 2020.
Next, Taifun goes to Tula, where on October 19 and 20 they will play against the AKM-Junior team. Both matches start at 13:00 Moscow time, at 20:00 Vladivostok time.
