AkBars Kazan are one step away from winning their third Gagarin Cup, after a 3-1 victory over CSKA Moscow in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series.

CSKA was stymied by AkBars goalie Emil Garipov, especially during a first period power play and AkBars struck late in the first period,on a goal from Justin Azevedo.
