Magnitogorsk lost the fifth match of the series to Novokuznetsk Metallurg in the 1/8 finals of the Petrov Cup, but the score in the series was 3:2 in favor of the Magnitogorsk club. The squad continues to have a good chance of creating the main sensation of the first round of the playoffs and knocking out the best team of the regular season. In the last confrontation, Evgeny Polozov's wards did little in attack, but the club was not much inferior to its opponent in terms of play. The only difference is that the owners of the ice had everything in order with the implementation, and the farm club of the steelworkers could not turn the created scoring chances into abandoned pucks. In terms of the number of shots (63-58), including on goal (35-34), the advantage was even on the side of the South Ural team, but the score on the scoreboard spoke for itself – 0:4 after 60 minutes of the game. It is worth noting that Magnitogorsk did not score for the first time since the beginning of the series.

Current form
In the last match of the series, Metallurg won the second victory in a row, after three defeats from an opponent, and reduced the gap to a minimum. The forge as a whole, with an equal game in the first period, but with a little more control of the puck, took the lead. By the middle of the second period, the team created many dangerous chances, which could have predetermined the outcome of the meeting, but the puck did not go into the goal. But at the end of the second 20 minutes, Andrei Lunev's team doubled their advantage. Magnitogorsk could reduce the gap in the score, but the bar and the crossbar saved the owners of the ice. In the third period, the guests failed to make any kind of assault. The Novokuznetsk team played defensively and waited for a chance in the majority, scoring the third goal, and soon the fourth puck flew into the gates of Magnitogorsk – 4-0 in total.
