    Cheechoo gets two goals and newest defender Hannu Pikkarainen gets two assists, including a beauty to Jessiman.
     
    The difference was another shutout performance by Barry Brust and Medvescak going 2 for 3 on the power play.
     
    Medvescak wins their 5th straight as Avangard leaves losing their 8th.

    Shots:

    Medvescak: 16
    Avangard: 39

    Brust was never really tested tonight, despite the high number of shots.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    A penalty against Brust for holding the game, but insignificant with only a second to play.
     
    59:15
    Nothing here for Avangard as they have packed it in.
     
    57:30
    Kane and Jessiman are on the checking line for Medvescak. They are earning their keep, now playing a bit like Avangard on the forecheck.
     
    56:00
    Pivtsakin gets one over the Medvescak defenders stick, but the defense recovers and stops a breakaway attempt.
     
    54:30
    Brust at his best when he is aggressive. He holds a puck in front of him before sticking it to his teammate for an offensive try. Carle dumps it for a line chance and the score remains.
     
    52:42
    Cheechoo almost gets a hat trick on a nice feed from Murley. Kostin gets his stick over the five hole and it's just enough to stop Medvescak's 5th of the game.
     
    51:30
    Willsie playing a little forecheck after a near icing call. Avangard sets up in a hurry in a chance to try to get something here. A little unorganized going in and they are called offsides.
     
    48:57
    Cheechoo gets a feed behind the net and comes out to the goal line. Kostin hugs the post this time indicating a correction from his past experience. He forgets about the glove side and Cheechoo snaps another one high.
     
    48:30
    Brust takes two to the chest, letting rebounds go on alternating sides. He gets back to the third one to glove it and shut the momentum down a bit. Avangard starting to surge here.
     
    46:37
    Commercial break here after a Brust cover. Avangard coach speaking with Milyukov, Blatay and Vorobyov anout X's and O's. Time is running out here for the guests.
     
    45:00
    Pikkarainen putting some work in on the boards. Avangard gets possession and goes the other way. The players on the bench are trying to see if their teammates are making any progress in the Medvescak zone, but we have a stalemate here after the Bears 3rd.
     
    42:30
    Semin and Perezhogin fighting hard in their own end to get Avangard a chance here. Medvescak still in possession despite some punishing hits.
     
    40:27
    Walker gets a pass from Murray and works hard behind Kostin. The defense forgot about Murray who settled in for an easy deflection over Kostin's glove.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    One minute to go before we start the final period!
