There is no confirmed information that Admiral goalkeeper Nikita Boyarkin scored in a game against Amur. The Far Eastern clubs met in the KHL in February and October 2026, but accounts of those games do not confirm a goal by Boyarkin.
What is known about the games
Admiral and Amur played on February 16, 2026. The game account noted accurate shots by forward Volkov, a scoring attack by Kamara and a confident performance by Boyarkin; these contributions earned Admiral a road win. A goal by the goalkeeper was not among the listed moments.
The teams met again in Khabarovsk on October 25, 2026, in the opening game of the Far Eastern derby. Amur beat Admiral; the highlights included Abramov’s two-goal performance and Trushkov’s third shutout. This account also does not confirm a goal by Boyarkin.
Why the headline needs checking
A goalkeeper’s goal is a rare moment in hockey, but merely seeing Boyarkin’s name alongside Admiral’s results is not enough to establish who scored. A goalkeeper can score by sending the puck into the opponent’s empty net, but any such goal must be confirmed by the game sheet for that particular match or by official KHL statistics.
An account of the September 19, 2026 game mentions Boyarkin making 26 saves and Admiral losing to Amur, who scored two more goals. This describes the goalkeeper’s performance but does not credit him with a goal. The number of shots saved and the player who scored are different statistics.
Other results for Boyarkin
On October 19, 2026, Boyarkin made 23 saves in a game where a goal by Borna Rendulic helped Admiral secure its first shutout win over Salavat Yulaev in four seasons. This was not a game against Amur and does not explain where the claim about a goalkeeper’s goal might have come from.
An account of the October 5, 2026 game also lists Admiral’s goals: Anthony Camara scored in the 32nd minute, and Nikita Efremov in the 34th. These details relate to another game and do not confirm a moment involving Boyarkin in a match against Amur.
What to check next
To establish whether Boyarkin scored against Amur, the game sheet for the specific match in question needs to be checked. It should list the match date, the goal scorer and the game situation. Until such confirmation is found, Boyarkin cannot be named as the player who scored against Amur.
The next concrete step is to check the official KHL game sheet for the relevant Admiral–Amur game.
