Fox NewsYaroslavl Lokomotiv defeated Ak Bars Kazan in Game 6 of the final series to win the Gagarin Cup for the second straight year. The Gagarin Cup is awarded to the champion of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League and is named after Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Players passed the trophy among teammates and skated with it around the ice after the final game. When it was goalie Alexei Melnichuk's turn, he lifted the trophy above his head but lost his balance and fell while attempting to hold it. The trophy remained intact after the fall.
Melnichuk appeared in three games for the San Jose Sharks during his NHL career. Lokomotiv's roster also includes Richard Panik, who played more than 500 NHL games, and Alexander Radulov, a former Montreal Canadiens and Dallas Stars forward who led the team in points this season.
