    59:56
    It appears we're headed for overtime, but Neftekhimik will start it on the power play as Erik Christensen gets assessed a minor for boarding.
     
    58:03
    Another Neftekhimik penalty, and Lev will once again finish the period on the power play unless they score, which they've failed to do on their previous attempts. Stanislav Alshevsky gets another penalty for tripping.
     
    54:57
    Lev back to the power play, as Tomas Netik gets called for tripping at the Lev blueline.
     
    51:00
    Tomas Surovy comes out of the box and gets a chance, and in the ensuing scramble in the Neftekhimik zone Petr Vrana gets a stick in the face courtesy of Stanislav Alshevsky. Power play Lev.
     
    48:46
    After a lengthy delay, Tomas Surovy is called for high sticking. Neftekhimik with a power play at a key point in the game.
     
    38:10
    Renat Mamashev gets called for hooking along the boards in the Lev zone, which kept the puck from being cleared. Lev to the power play.
     
    27:37
    Now Tomas Rachunek gets called for tripping, giving Neftekhimik a 5-on-3 for :43.
     
    26:20
    Jiri Hunkes takes a minor penalty as he puts a hold on the dangerous Yaroslav Alshevsky, who had the puck in the slot. That might be what is called a good penalty.
     
    18:00
    Yegor Milovzorov gets called for slashing in his own end, and Lev will end the period on the power play (unless they score).
     
    03:03
    And now the whistle goes and penalties assessed, Stanislav Alshevsky for slashing and Zdeno Chara for interference. 4 on 4. From the looks of things in the early going, this could be a rough game.
     
    00:19
    Early power play for Neftekhimik, as Lev's Jiri Hunkes takes a hooking penalty.
