Dramatic win caps Dinamo Minsk home opener

The new Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) season kicked off on 5 September, but it was yesterday when the action finally arrived in Minsk. As usual, the capital club opened its home series with a spectacular show. The subsequent game saw HC Dinamo Minsk dominate HC Barys Astana, yet the outcome remained uncertain until the final seconds, BelTA has learned.

HC Dinamo Minsk clinched a hard-fought 1-0 overtime victory against HC Barys Astana in their first home game of the KHL season. The winning goal was scored by Sam Anas, securing the win in front of 15,000 home crowd after a tense match where Dinamo Minsk dominated play but were repeatedly held off the score sheet until the extra period.

Dinamo Minsk is now set to play five consecutive games on home ice. On Wednesday, Dmitri Kvartalnov’s side will face HC Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Then Dinamo Minsk is scheduled to play against Severstal Cherepovets on 26 September, and 1 October, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on 29 September, and Traktor Chelyabinsk on 6 October.
