    That's it from me. Thanks for following the game with us and have a look at our schedule for the coverage of other KHL games. (16:11:34)
     
    After the early strike by Bernatsky the motivation was out of the third period for both teams soon. After receiving the equalizer in the first period Lokomotiv never found back into this match and Metallurg gained three well-deserved away points.
     
    Game over.
     
    59:28
    Sergei Plotnikov (Lokomotiv) gets two minutes for interference.
     
    59:30
    Loko tries it with a bit of offense but nothing serious.
     
    58:00
    Last two minutes just were announced.
     
    56:50
    A shot by Loko from a sharp angle. No problem for Ahonen though.
     
    56:15
    Loko back at full strength. Metallurg is trying to make it half a dozen while the hosts gave up long time ago...
     
    55:25
    Easy glove save for Semyon Varlamov who stepped on the ice for the today shaky Sanford a couple of minutes ago.

    Mats Zuccarello (Metallurg) and Dmitry Kulikov (Lokomotiv) both gets two minutes each for roughing.
     
    54:15
    Next penalty against Lokomotiv. Sergei Plotnikov gets two minutes for tripping. It's 5 on 3 for Metallurg again.
     
    52:30
    Alexei Kalyuzhny (Lokomotiv) gets two minutes for slashing.
     
    51:32
    Back hander by Metallurg goes wide.
     
    50:48
    Good chance for Loko. Somehow Ahonen is in the corner on time to block the shot from a short distance.
     
    50:02
    Lokomotiv back at full strength.
     
    48:02
    Yegor Yakovlev (Lokomotiv) gets two minutes for slashing.
     
    48:02
    Almost the next one for Metallurg. After a break away the forward is stopped only at the cost of a penalty.
     
    46:08
    Good opportunity for Loko but Ahonen covers the puck up before the home forwards can get the rebound. Afterwards we see fists flying.
     
    44:45
    Goal for Metallurg!

    SERGEI BERNATSKY with a one-timer from a half right position into the right bottom corner leaves Sanford no chance ro react. Game over for Loko !

    Assisted by Dmitry Kazionov and Evgeny Malkin.
     
    44:07
    Loko with a shot from the left wing that goes wide...
     
    43:54
