    That's it from me. Thanks for following the game with us ! For other sports events have a look at our schedule ! (16:16:02)
     
    Severstal defended their 4-1 lead with a lot of patience and didn't risk too much in the last 20 minutes. Spartak tried it with a bit more offense during the third period but they failed to create any big scoring chances so that the Severstal win came never in danger.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    Last minute of regulation started.
     
    Teemu Laakso with a blue line shot for Severstal but good pad save by Spartak goalie Suchkov.
     
    Easy save for Severstal goalie Koshechkin from a close distance.
     
    54:44
    And the penalties continue. Nikolai Bushuyev (Spartak) gets two minutes for interference - 4 on 4 now.
     
    A very hard shot is blocked to the side in the last moment by Spartak goalie Suchkov with a little jump.
     
    54:17
    Gennady Stolyarov (Severstal) sits in the penalty box because his team received a two-minute penalty for too many players on the ice.
     
    Wow. A very nice solo run by Spartak forward Mikhail Zhukov that started in the guest zone and was finished with a back hander in front of Koshechkin in the Severstal net... !
     
    As only around eight minutes are left, it is not very likely that we'll see a huge Spartak comeback here anymore...
     
    Shot from the side by the Spartak offense, easy save by Koshechkin.
     
    Severstal are defending their lead well while Spartak have almost no chances...
     
    Hard shot from the left wing by Severstal but still an easy save for Suchkov.
     
    Quite a good chance here for Severstal but Suchkov is there on time to cover up the puck in front of his own goal...
     
    43:21
    Nikolai Bushuyev (Spartak) gets two minutes for tripping.
