Geneve-Servette came from behind to beat CSKA Moscow in overtime in the Spengler Cup on Saturday.

Denis Hollenstein responded for Geneve-Servette, levelling the score ahead of the second period with this easy chance.
The Russians then opened a two-goal lead thanks to some smart stick work from Alexander Radulov and Sergei Fedorov added a third.
However, Kaspars Daugavins reduced the deficit to 3-2 .
The third period saw Geneve-Servette needing a third to take the game into overtime - they equalised with little under four minutes remaining. Alexandre Picard converted.

Geneve-Servette reached the semi-finals after finishing top of Group Torriani.
