Vasily Ponomarev scored twice, including the overtime winner, on Christmas Eve, continuing a strong season with Avangard Omsk in the KHL.

Krill Tankov found the scoresheet again after injury interrupted a hot start to the KHL season, scoring a goal and setting up the winner in a Christmas Day overtime win.

Vasily Ponomarev returned to the Avangard Omsk lineup on Sunday after missing nearly five weeks and scored twice.

Mikhail Ilyin extended a point streak with the Severstal Cherepovets in the KHL to five games last week.
