Salavat Yulaev Ufa 2 - Sibir Novosibirsk 1 (1-1, 1-0, 0-0)
A tight encounter in Ufa saw Salavat Yulaev eke out a narrow victory over a spirited Sibir in the opening game of this Eastern Conference first round clash.

Dynamo Moscow 3 - Severstal Cherepovets 6 (0-2, 2-2, 1-2)
The battle between fourth and fifth in the West was rated as the most unpredictable of the first round – and Severstal showed its steel in the opening game to upset Dynamo Moscow.

SKA St. Petersburg 8 - Dinamo Minsk 3 (1-2, 7-0, 0-1)
The Western Conference top seed proved far too strong for its Belarusian opponent, hammering seven unanswered goals in the second period.

Ak Bars Kazan 1 - Avangard Omsk 2 OT (0-0, 0-0, 1-1, 0-1)
This keenly anticipated clash between two traditional powerhouses of the East proved every bit as competitive as expected. In the end, defending champion Avangard went to overtime in Kazan before Nikolai Prokhorkin settled the outcome.
