      Torpedo-Gorky hockey players came from behind to beat Rostov in a VHL regular-season game. The match ended 5:3 in favor of the Nizhny Novgorod side.

      The game began badly for the Gorky team. The side took a penalty for too many men on the ice and conceded a goal — 0:1. Rostov defended confidently and earned another power play. However, a few minutes before the intermission Anton Kosolapov equalized — 1:1.

      In the second period the hosts seized the initiative, creating a number of chances, but the visitors’ goalkeeper played well. On the 27th minute Rostov went ahead — 1:2. However, the end of the period belonged to Torpedo-Gorky. In 125 seconds the team scored three goals and took the lead — 4:2. Kirill Svishtyov, Yegor Nikitin and Nikolai Mayorov were on the scoresheet.

      In the third period Rostov pulled one back. Not willing to give up, the visitors pulled their goalie for a sixth attacker late in the game, but this resulted in a fifth conceded goal. Gleb Chesnokov scored into the empty net — 5:3.

      The farm club sits seventh in the regular-season standings with 23 points.

      Torpedo-Gorky will play their next game at home again. On October 23 the Avtozavodtsy will face Voronezh’s Buran.

      Earlier it was reported that Ilya Chefanov scored four goals and helped Torpedo-Gorky beat Tambov.
