		Thanks for following ! For other hockey coverage have a look at our schedule ! Good night ! (20:40:48)
		The first and third period were very balanced but three consecutive goals in the middle period were enough for Dynamo Moscow to take all three points from Riga with them and to earn the lead in Bobrov Division and in the whole KHL table ! The goal by Carle was not enough for Riga and the team stays at the bottom of Bobrov Division...
	60:00	Game over.
	59:30	Tellqvist stays in net, Riga has accepted the loss.
	58:06	Another good blocker save by Tellqvist.
	58:00	Last two minutes are announced...
	56:42	A blue line shot by Dynamo Moscow goes past everyone and then also the goal. But it was close !
	56:05	Miks Indrasis can't get a good scoring chance but at least his efforts earn the hosts another faceoff.
	54:22	A great save by Tellqvist keeps Riga in the game.
	53:30	They play "Don't stop believin'" by "Journey" prior to the face off. Let's see if that helps the home side.
	51:50	Another blue line shot by the hosts. Scharychenkov doesn't get the puck away but also the Riga forwards can't get it.
	51:29	Ilya Gorokhov (Dynamo Moscow) gets two minutes for tripping.
	50:42	Goal for Dinamo Riga! The goal is given ! MATHIEU CARLE gets Riga onto the scoreboard !
	50:42	Blue line shot by Mathieu Carle ends in the net but a Riga forward is very close to the goalie zone. Video review !
	49:14	Janne Jalasvaara (Dynamo Moscow) gets two minutes for roughing.
	49:14	Martins Karsums gets the puck in a central position but his shot just hits the chest of Sharychenkov.
	48:26	Wrap-around try by Dinamo Riga but the rebound goes past two forwards...
	46:19	Big chance for Dinamo Riga. Jamie Johnson directly in front of the goal but he doesn't get the puck and the scene is cleared by the defense.
	45:37	Marek Kvapil (Dynamo Moscow) gets two minutes for hooking.
	45:36	Miks Indrasis with a not very precise shot on goal...
	44:18	Rekis from the blue line...
	43:46	A shot by Konkov is stopped easily by Tellqvist.
	42:00	Not much going on so far in this period.
	40:01	3rd period began.
		A pretty one-sided second period leaves the game almost decided in favour of the favourites Dynamo Moscow. Ten minutes were enough for them to get a three-goal lead.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	38:25	Goal for Dynamo! A counter attack leads to the next one for the guests. Alexander Ovechkin tries to deke out Tellqvist but he blocks it and the rebound is put over the line by DMITRY PESTUNOV! Assisted by Alexander Ovechkin.
	36:54	Ovechkin from a good position but misses the net.
	35:30	Several shots on goal by Riga but none of them creates enough danger...
	33:24	Kaspars Daugavins with the big chance for Riga but his pass is blocked by the stick of a defender and on the other side it's Ovechkin who is stopped just before he can score.
	31:45	Goal for Dynamo! Pass from behind the net by Alexei Tsvetkov and the completely free standing DENIS KOKAREV fires the puck into the corner to double the Dynamo lead ! Assisted by Alexei Tsvetkov.
	31:03	Counter attack via Nizivijs but the Moscow defense can clear.
	30:06	The Dynamo power play is not creative enough, Ovechkin finally with a shot but past the net.
	28:30	Alexandre Giroux (Dinamo Riga) gets two minutes for slashing.
	27:44	Goal for Dynamo! The puck is passed back by Konstantin Volkov to ILYA GOROKHOV who stands in a central position and fires it past Tellqvist for the guest lead ! Assisted by Konstantin Volkov
	27:26	Alexander Ovechkin comes with a lot of speed closer to the Dinamo goal but his shot is not precise enough.
	26:42	Good penalty killing by the guest defense who almost let no shots through.
	24:42	Leo Komarov (Dynamo Moscow) gets two minutes for high-sticking.
	24:35	Double chance for Dynamo Moscow through their superstar Alexander Ovechkin but both times Tellqvist can block it from a short distance.
	23:43	Blue line shot by Riga is blocked to the side.
	21:42	No look shot by Riga from a sharp angle, the following rebound is saved by Sharychenkov.
	20:01	2nd period began.
		A completely open first period between the outsiders Dinamo Riga and top team Dynamo Moscow. Not much of a class difference here so far.

	17:54	A Dynamo forward finds the net open but Tellqvist makes a jump to the side to get the puck !

	15:06	Tellqvist has to cover the puck with his whole body before a Moscow forward can reach it.
	14:27	Kaspars Daugavins dekes out Sharychenkov but with high speed he misses the net.
	13:39	Good work with one man more on the ice by Riga but none of the shots was a realy danger for Sharychenkov.
	12:21	Leo Komarov (Dynamo Moscow) gets two minutes for boarding.
	11:34	Huge save by Tellqvist against Marek Kvapil who deked out a defender and then tried it with a hard shot into the corner.
	10:30	Indrasis past the right post. Whenever Dinamo Riga gets into the guest's defending zone they try it with fast shots.
	09:35	Double chance for Riga through Bicevskis, then we see the fists fly for the first time.
	08:55	Fast attack by Riga, Nizivijs with a shot from the blue line, earns his team a face off.

		Starting lineups: Dinamo Riga: Tellqvist (Jucers) - Rekis, Galvins, Porejs, Giroux, Sotnieks, Carle - Karsums, Daugavins, Johnson, Giroux, Nizivijs, Szczechura, Dzerins, Indrasis, Meija, Ivanans, Ankipans, Bicevskis, Biezais Dynamo Moscow: Sharychenkov (Volkov) - Novak, Granak, Jalasvaara, Solovyov, Gorokhov, Mironov, Tomkin - Ovechkin, Bäckström, Komarov, Tsvetkov, Voikov, Kokarev, Soin, Tolpeko, Konkov, Pestunov, Mosalyov, Kvapil Referees: Bondar, Romasko - Golyak, Dedyulya
		Dinamo Riga receives Dynamo Moscow for the only KHL game on Thursday, a duel of two Bobrov Division sides. Dinamo Riga plays one of their worst seasons ever with only 29 points in as many games. They would have to win this match with a six-goal difference only to get past the second-last in their division - Vityaz Chekhov. Whenever the Latvians won in the last weeks, the setback followed immediately in the next game. On the other side for current Gagarin Cup holders Dynamo Moscow everything looks very bright. They need just one point to not only get the lead in Bobrov Division back but also in the whole KHL table. They won 6 of their last 8 matches but in the last one they were beaten at home by the outsiders Atlant Mytishchi (2-5). It should be expected that the guests around lockout stars Alexander Ovechkin, Nicklas Bäckström and Leo Komarov win this match relatively easily. If Dinamo Riga can surprise them, we'll see in a few minutes.
		Welcome. Game starts at 18:30 CET.
