    That's it from me. Thanks for following the game with us ! (20:18:39)
     
    Donbass had several big scoring opportunities in the third period, especially in the first half of it, but a strong Barys goalie Vitaly Yeremeyev kept his goal clean in the last 20 minutes. In the end an empty netter ended all hopes for Donetsk and gave a lucky, but not undeserved win to Barys.
