    Thank you for your attention! For other hockey coverage have a look at our schedule... (15:18:20)
     
    It was a low-scoring affair tonight. We´ve seen only three goals, interestingly all of them coming from Slovak players. Slovan proved their quality again and thanks to goals scored by Ján Lipiansky and Michel Miklík managed to win. Jaroslav Janus performed really well and was beaten just once, which also played a big role in three-point win for HC Slovan Bratislava.

    45:14
    Now the game is situated mainly in the neutral zone...
