		For the coverage of other sports events have a look at our schedule! Thanks for following! (18:22:11)
		Donbass tried everything to come back in the third period. When they pulled out their goalie for another attacker, Alexander Ovechkin crowned his performance with an empty netter for the hat trick. Dynamo Moscow now has a six-point advantage towards the second in the KHL table.
	60:00	Game over.
	59:18	Goal for Dynamo! ALEXANDER OVECHKIN with a shot from the neutral zone into the empty net. Hat trick for the lockout star ! Assisted by Nicklas Bäckström.

	55:40	A Donbass defender can avoid the decision in favour of Dynamo by jumping into the last pass and blocking it that way.

	49:25	Oskars Bartulis with a shot from the right wing through a bunch of players but no problem for Sharychenkov in the Dynamo goal. Donbass with the far better impression right now. The rest of regulation should become very interesting !
	45:06	Goal for Donbass! The hosts with a fast forward pass and EVGENY DADONOV is through with a break away, dekes out Sharychenkov with a nice move to the right side and cuts the Dynamo lead to just one ! Shorthander for Donbass ! Assisted by Vaclav Nedorost.

	40:00	2nd period finished.
	38:17	Sharychenkov blocks a real blast to the side... !
	37:27	Donbass attacks very early, they don't leave Dynamo a lot of time to iniatiate their plays.

	20:00	1st period finished.

		The only KHL match on Saturday is a Bobrov Division duel between Donbass Donetsk and Dynamo Moscow. Their first meeting this season ended 4-2 for Dynamo. Home side Donbass Donetsk had a difficult start into the season but by now they are real competitors for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. After 30 games the Ukrainian league newcomers collected 37 points and are just four points behind a playoff spot. The team is especially strong at home where it won the last 7 (!!!) matches, including a 3-2 win over SKA St. Petersburg earlier this week. The guests Dynamo Moscow are in top form with 8 wins in the last 10 matches that let them be KHL leaders with 64 points in 30 games. Their last away game they have won 3-1 against Dinamo Riga. In a few minutes we'll see if Donbass can extend its superb home record or if the super stars from Dynamo like Ovechkin or Bäckström will be still a number too big for them.
		Welcome. Game starts at 16:00 CET.
