Midway through the third period, Tselogorodtsev scored his second goal. The 23-year-old forward received the puck in the opponent's zone, drove to the net, and delivered a powerful shot from a sharp angle (1:2). A few minutes later, Bohdan Piddubny doubled the lead with a long shot that the Capitals' goalie failed to see (1:3).
