Unfortunate ending

On March 22, Typhoon played its final game of the 2024/2025 season, losing to the Sakhalin Sharks 1:3. The hopes of finishing in the top half of the standings were dashed.

Typhoon prepared for the final games, bearing in mind that there is a chance of reaching the sixth place in Silver Division. However, two defeats from Sakhalin Sharks dropped Ilgiz Nuriyev's team to ninth place. In the first game, Typhoon lost to the guests with the score 1:2, and in the second game – 1:3.

Already in the first minutes of the game, Typhoon goalie Alexei Noskov made an incredible save. The Islanders’ goalie Yegor Bai also performed greatly, rescuing his team over and over. The guests opened the scoring on the power play in the 12th minute. This goal was the only one in the period – 0:1.

In the second period, Alexei Ivashinnikov managed to even the score, capitalizing on the power play – 1:1. Inspired by the goal, Typhoon conducted several dangerous attacks, but soon Sakhalin Sharks seized the initiative and scored the second goal, again taking the lead – 1:2.

In the final twenty minutes, Typhoon had several opportunities to draw level, including a couple of minutes of numerical advantage. Unfortunately, the team failed to take their chances. Five seconds before the final buzzer, Sakhalin Sharks sent the puck into an empty net, setting the final score – 1:3.
