The Chepetskys beat up the neighbors.
Olimpiya began its latest home series in the Higher League of the Russian Championship with a match against their geographic neighbors — HC Torpedo-Gorky from Nizhny Novgorod.

Olimpiya took the lead in the 11th minute — the team's high-profile newcomer Vadim Pereskokov scored.
At the start of the second period the visitors equalized, but Olimpiya scored again immediately.
The spectators — 1,783 according to the official report — saw no more goals. In the standings Olimpiya is 25th, seven points behind the playoff zone.
