    3rd period finished.
     
    59:51
    Fast counter by the guests. At the second post they just missed the goal.
     
    58:48
    Ezhov left his net to keep the puck in play but it landed in front of the skates of an opponent and this was almost punished!! Gleb Klimneko missed the wide open net with his shot from the left wing!! Biggest chance for Atlant in this match!

    SKA from the left wing, pad save Galimov.
     
    56:37
    Atlant now barely get out of their own zone. The pressure gets more and more.
     
    54:27
    Another double chance for SKA! First Galimov blocked a shot from a half right position and then he blocked the following wrap-around try! The hosts definately want to decide this match in regulation.
     
    54:12
    Counter by the guests, Ezhov stops the shot from the right wing.
     
    53:05
    The referees say the puck never crossed the goal line!
     
    53:05
    Video review! First SKA hit the crossbar and then Galimov covered the puck up on the goal line! Looks almost like he stopped the puck behind the goal line!
     
    52:27
    The hosts are back at full strength.
     
    52:08
    Another blue line shot for the guests, this time by Ozolins, into the gloves of Ezhov.
