Group E’s opening game of the Continental Cup saw Rubin Tyumen of Russia beat Cracovia Krakow of Poland 6-1.
The Russians had period scores of 2-0, 2-1 and 2-0 to beat their Eastern European counterparts comfortably. Former LA King and Nashville Predator star Vitali Yachmenyov was amongst the goals as was 2004 Minnesota Wild draft pick Roman Voloshenko.
Hosts Donbass Donetsk will be looking for a big result tonight against their Latvian opponents Liepajas Metalurgs to try and keep pace with the Russians, who have flown out of the blocks this afternoon with that 6-1 result.
