    Lev had a comfortable 4-0 3rd period lead before Dynamo made a big push and got 2 late goals, but it was too little, too late. Lev gets 3 big points in their playoff chase, while Dynamo remains atop the KHL standings. (18:50:43)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:44
    Offside Lev. With the faceoff at the Dynamo blueline and 2 goals down, this game should be done.
     
    58:50
    Lev shot down the ice just barely short of the open net.
     
    58:43
    Puck goes out of play, faceoff in the Lev zone.

    Sharychenkov out for a 6th Dynamo attacker.
     
    58:15
    Timeout Dynamo.
     
    58:15
    Popperle makes a save on Tolpeka and holds on. This is going to be an interesting finish.
     
    57:24
    Goal for Dynamo!
    An airborn shot/pass from Konstantin Volkov hits ALEXEI TSVETKOV in front and goes in. Don't go anywhere, this isn't quite done yet. Assist: Konstantin Volkov.
     
    57:03
    Now Lev pushes back, chances for Bartecko and Surovy, Sharychenkov covers.
     
    56:00
    Lev net dislodged. Faceoff inside. Dynamo again buzzing, but it's a bit late now.
     
    55:12
    And now a scramble in front of Popperle, he manages to cover the puck.
     
    54:50
    At the tail end of the power play, Leo Komarov tried to beat Popperle high to the stick side but he deftected it away.
     
    53:45
    Lev ices . . .
     
    52:54
    Juraj Mikus called for tripping Alexander Ovechkin in front of the net, who was about to get a good chance. Power play Dynamo.
     
    52:31
    Shot by Michal Repik from the blueline handled by Sharychenkov, who hangs on.
     
    52:13
    Puck goes out of play by the Lev bench, faceoff at the blueline.
     
    51:10
    After Dynamo goes offside, Ondrej Nemec has been assessed a 10-minute misconduct for apparently yapping at the referee. The way he was holding his nose in the box seems to indicate he took a high stick that wasn't called. Teams stay 5 on 5.
     
    50:16
    Goal for Dynamo!
    DENIS KOKAREV gets Dynamo on the board with a shorthanded goal--an amazing individual effort in which he beats to Lev players and then Popperle high to the stick side.
     
    48:51
    Now Lev has a power play attempt as Konstantin Gorovikov is sent off.
     
    48:30
    Two more huge saves bfrom Tomas Popperle, both backhanders. First Ovechin on the rush, then Granak right in front, both glorious chances to get Dynamo on the board.
