Game 4 of Avangard - Barys KHL playoff series was full of delays, action, and injuries.

First, the game couldn't resume after the 1st intermission due to the lighting issue at the Omsk home rink in Balashika. So it took around 15 minutes for it to be fixed.

Then in the 3rd period two massive injuries.


First Viktor Stalberg delivered a hit on 19-year-old Barys defensemen Orehov who was carried off on a stretcher and then taken straight to the local hospital.




Then Darren Dietz delivered an awfully bad hit from behind on Sergei Shumakov who was then also taken off-the ice on a stretcher.
