The 2012–13 KHL season was the fifth season of the Kontinental Hockey League. The regular season began on 4 September with the Lokomotiv Cup between last year's finalists Dynamo Moscow and Avangard Omsk. The league consisted of 26 teams from 7 countries for the first time.{{cite web|url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2012/6/27/24639.html|title=D-Day, 4th of September!|publisher=khl.ru|date=2012-06-27|access-date=27 June 2012|archive-date=3 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903233120/http://en.khl.ru/news/2012/6/27/24639.html|url-status=dead}} Dynamo Moscow successfully defended their title after beating Traktor Chelyabinsk in the Gagarin Cup finals.

Changes

=Team changes=

After withdrawing from the previous season in the wake of the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash that killed the team's entire active roster, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl returned to the KHL with new players.

Lev Poprad was disbanded, but a team of the same name, Lev Prague, was established in Prague, Czech Republic, while Slovan Bratislava joined the KHL and thus continues the league's presence in Slovakia.{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/en/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/6557.html |title=Lev from Slovakia to Prague |publisher=IIHF.com |date=2012-03-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824052336/http://www.iihf.com/en/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/6557.html |archive-date=24 August 2013 |df=dmy-all }} Also HC Donbass from Donetsk, Ukraine joined the league. The team previously played in the VHL.http://www.hcdonbass.com/home/news/news/18261?lang=ru {{dead link|date=November 2016}} This brought the total number of teams to 26, representing 7 countries.

=Salary cap=

The salary cap changed from a soft cap to a hard cap, set at 1.1 billion rubles (approx. US$36.5 million), but each club can waive the cap for one player transferred directly from the NHL, if he is eligible to play for the Russian national team.{{cite web|url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2012/7/18/24651.html|title=Improvements for new season|publisher=khl.ru|date=2012-07-28}}

=Season structure=

The regular season consisted of 52 games for each team — twice (home and away) against each other team in the league and two extra games against a selected "rival" opponent (typically a geographically close team). This was a change from previous seasons, where all intra-division opponents were played more frequently. The top 8 teams from each conference qualified for the playoffs, which are played as best-of-seven series in each round.

=Nadezhda Cup tournament=

In January 2013, a new repechage tournament known as the Nadezhda Cup (Cup of Hope) was announced, which was held alongside the playoffs. Six teams from the Western Conference and four teams from the Eastern Conference who had not qualified for the playoffs competed in the tournament, whose prize includes the first overall pick in the next KHL Junior Draft. The new tournament was intended to extend the season, and help maintain interest in hockey for fans and players in preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics.{{cite web|title=Cup of Hope|url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2013/01/22/25012.html|publisher=khl.ru|date=22 January 2013|access-date=27 January 2013|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402122203/http://en.khl.ru/news/2013/01/22/25012.html|url-status=dead}} The first Cup of Hope was won by Dinamo Riga.

Regular season

The regular season started on 4 September 2012 with the Lokomotiv Cup between the finalists of the previous season, Dynamo Moscow and Avangard Omsk. It ended on 17 February 2013 after every team had played 52 matches.

=Notable events=

==NHL lockout==

The league set up rules for the NHL lockout which lasted from 16 September 2012 to early January 2013. According to the special regulations, each KHL team was allowed to add up to 3 NHL players to their roster, among them at most one foreign player.{{cite web|url=http://en.khl.ru/news/2012/9/17/24719.html|title=Door opens for NHL men|date=2012-09-17|publisher=khl.ru}}

==Proposed matches in New York==

Two regular season games between Dynamo Moscow and SKA Saint Petersburg were planned to take place at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York in January 2013. However, the KHL reverted this decision in October 2012 and thus these matches were played in Russia.{{cite web|url=http://www.khl.ru/news/2012/10/26/45813.html|script-title=ru:"Динамо" и СКА сыграют в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге|publisher=khl.ru|language=ru|date=2012-10-26}}

==All-star game==

The 5th KHL all-star game was played on 13 January 2013 in Chelyabinsk, with Team East, captained by Aleksey Morozov, winning 18–11 over Team West, captained by Ilya Kovalchuk.

Playoffs

{{main|2013 Gagarin Cup playoffs}}

The playoffs started on 20 February 2013 with the top eight teams from both conferences and ended on 17 April with the last game of the Gagarin Cup final.

During the first three rounds home ice was determined by seeding number within the Conference, not position on the bracket. In the Finals the team with better seeding number had home ice advantage. If the seeding numbers were equal, the regular season record was taken into account.[http://www.khl.ru/documents/KHL_sports_regulations_2011-2014_revised.pdf KHL Sports Regulations 2011-2014, revised]
