CSKA Moscow have lost to Amur on penalties and failed to go to the top of the KHL Western Conference.

It was the visitors from Khabarovsk who took the lead at the start of the second period. Jakub Petruzalek made the CSKA keeper capitulate with his close range shot.

The hosts needed just six minutes to get an equalizer. Yakov Rylov made the most of a powerplay to level matters.

Midway through the game, Dmitry Tarasov put Amur in front for the second time in the game, after scoring also on a powerplay.

The Muscovites, though, managed to take the game into extra-time with less than three minutes to go in the third period through Sergey Barbashev.

The additional five minutes were not enough to define the winner, so it went into a shoot-out lottery, where the Khabarovsk side rode their luck.

The result means CSKA stay third in the conference just a point behind HC Dynamo Moscow and Dynamo Minsk.
