    Thanks for following the game with us! For the coverage of other sports events, have a look at our schedule! (17:20:50)
     
    What a bitter end to the season of Dinamo Minsk! The team had a great race to catch up to get a playoff spot just to miss it in the last match against Ufa. After the goal by Pankov in the middle of the third period the hosts looked dead but they showed great moral and came back within half a minute through Cory Murphy and Janne Niskala!! When they had to risk everything - an overtime win wouldn't have been enough due to Atlant having more wins in regulation - an empty netter through Pankov ended all the playoff hopes of the Belarussians.
