Mogo/RSU recorded a 4–1 home victory over Energija Elektrėnai on Saturday in an Optibet Hockey League game at Mogo Hall.
Goals for Mogo/RSU were scored by Ernests Krūms, Deivids Sarkanis, Niks Feņenko, and Kristaps Sotnieks.
Mogo/RSU started the game with Kārlis Mežsargs in goal, while Energija entrusted their net to Rokas Salecis. The opening goal came in the fourth minute when Krūms redirected Krišjānis Rēdlihs’ shot from the blue line to put the hosts ahead. Mogo/RSU doubled the lead after a well-worked passing move: Feņenko delivered a long pass to the offensive blue line to Krūms, who set up Sarkanis for a one-timer that found the net. In the 17th minute, the visitors pulled one back as Laurynas Miliūnas entered the zone down the right wing and beat Mežsargs with a precise shot inside the far post.
In the second period, Energija earned two power plays following penalties to Māris Bičevskis and Niks Feņenko. Tadas Kumeliauskas hit the post on the first opportunity, while Egidijus Binkulis produced the most dangerous chance on the second, but neither managed to score. After Paulius Rumševičius was penalized for a foul on Feņenko, the hosts went on the power play themselves. Kristers Ansons fired twice on goal and Meija struck the post, yet the score remained unchanged. Midway through the game, Rūdolfs Lazdiņš replaced Mežsargs in the Mogo/RSU net and immediately turned aside several Energija shots.
Just 48 seconds into the third period, Mogo/RSU struck again. A shot from the blue line by Meija ended up on Feņenko’s stick, and he finished accurately from the right faceoff circle to make it 3–1. Quick passes from Rēdlihs and Ansons then set up Sotnieks, whose shot from the slot left Salecis with no chance. Late in the game, Ingus Ločmelis received a two-minute penalty for interference, and Energija pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker, but the score remained unchanged as Mogo/RSU secured a 4–1 win.
Aleks Ļeonovs was named Mogo/RSU’s best player of the match, while Energija’s top performer was goal scorer Laurynas Miliūnas.
Mogo/RSU will next compete in the IIHF Continental Cup Final Tournament, which will take place from January 14 to 17 in Nottingham, England.
