KHL stood down a video-review official after CSKA's disallowed goal in their 4-2 loss to Admiral, but the club remains unhappy with the result.
Daniil Seroukh scored a hat-trick and Yegor Vinogradov added three assists as Torpedo routed Lada 7-2 for their third win in four games this season.
Torpedo coach Alexei Isakov denied fatigue caused the 0:3 loss to CSKA and said the decision to part with Yegor Sokolov was made over time, not overnight.
The 23-year-old forward has 48 hours for another KHL club to claim him before Sibir terminates his contract after a modest 2024/25 season.
CSKA's coach credited grit over style after beating Torpedo, praised goalie Dmitry Gamzin, and explained lineup choices involving Hamilton and young forward Privalov.

Traded from Torpedo to Dinamo Minsk and immediately on to Ak Bars, Sokolov says he'll keep playing his net-front, puck-battling style in Kazan.
Alistrov heads to Dinamo Minsk, Sokolov joins Ak Bars from Torpedo, and Nizhny Novgorod acquire the KHL rights to defenceman Kolyachonok.
Vladimir Plyushchev says Spartak's coaching council, led by Boris Mayorov, is to blame for the team's 0:1 home defeat to Torpedo in the KHL opener.
