In a game that was finished earlier today, Ak Bars Kazan defeated Avangard Omsk in Omsk, 3-1, to complete a three-game sweep of the finals and capture the 2006 Russian Super League championship. Leading the way for Ak Bars in the Game Three victory was Alexei Morozov (Pittsburgh Penguins - RFA), the top scorer in the Super League this year.
Morozov scored Ak Bars' first goal of the game and then assisted on Ak Bars' second goal, with both scores coming in the second period after Avangard took an early 1-0 lead.
