    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): LEV 16 (28), CSKA 7 (25).

    Lev played a great 3rd period, with their only mistake giving up that 3-1 goal right after they scored their 1st goal. CSKA won it with their dominant play in the 2nd period and great goaltending from Rastislav Stana. (21:19:33)
     
    Lev had some late pressure down low, but couldn't get a shot.

    59:12
    Grabovsky and Radulov miss another open net bid. Could it be costly?
     
    59:00
    Icing against Lev. This crowd, which seemed dead earlier, is really into now after the goal and the penalty-shot save by Popperle.
     
    Save Popperle. Grabovsky's had so many chances today and has 1 goal, but Popperle has made a few big saves.
     
    58:41
    Penalty shot for CKSA's Mikhail Grabovsky.

    Grabovsky missed a chance at the open net and now he's getting a penalty for holding. With the goalie out, Lev will have a 6-on-4 advantage. They're 1/5 with the man advantage.
     
    57:30
