		Thanks for following the game with us! (18:46:23)
		SKA showed a demonstration of power and not only dominated also the third period but added another four goals for a very easy 7-0 win!! For guests Atlant it will be a lot of work to recover from a 0-2 deficit in the series and 0-8 goals. The series continues for the two teams with game #3 on Sunday in Mytishchi.
	60:00	Game over.
	59:34	Goal for SKA! Pass from behind the Atlant net by Mikhail Varnakov and VIKTOR TIKHONOV scored his second of the day to make it 7-0! What a humiliation for Atlant! Assisted by Mikhail Varnakov.
	58:59	SKA from the right wing, save Volkov.
	58:00	The last two minutes were announced.
	56:54	Almost the next one for SKA but the angle was too sharp and Volkov made the save.
	55:12	Goal for SKA! ANTON BURDASOV waited long with his shot and then he fired the puck through Volkov's five-hole to make it half a dozen!
	55:12	Break away by Anton Burdasov and two defenders stop him unfair just in front of the net - penalty shot!
	54:23	Back hander by the hosts, save Volkov.
	54:03	Harmless Atlant shot from the right wing but Kasutin covered the puck up before any damage could happen.
	52:27	The guests try to force their consolation goal to have at least a little reason for hope before their two home games against SKA.
	51:12	Afinogenov's shot was stopped from a short distance and the rebound went just wide!
	49:29	Big save by Kasutin who keeps his goal save.
	48:27	Panarin with a one-timer from a half-left position, misses the net.
	46:18	Counter chance for Atlant but Kasutin makes the save.
	45:50	Volkov barely avoided the next one. In the end he blocked the puck to the side.
	44:51	Goal for SKA! Blue line shot by Kevin Dallman and VIKTOR TIKHONOV deflects the puck into the left bottom corner! It didn't take too long until Volkov received the first goal against! Assisted by Kevin Dallman.
	43:46	Volkov already with the first big pad save!
	43:01	Atlant with a goaltender change. Volkov is now in for Galimov.
	43:01	Goal for SKA! Terrible misdirected pass by an Atlant defender in his own zone. The puck comes to ANTON BURDASOV who left Galimov no chance in the 1-on-1 and scored the 4-0! Assisted by Fyodor Fedorov and Ivan Nepryayev.
	42:15	Atlant with a lot of puck possession in the first minutes of the third period. SKA concentrate on defense and counter attacks.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		With a double early in the middle period favourites SKA St. Petersburg leave match #2 of this playoff series almost decided. Guests Atlant risked more after their three-goal deficit but they still failed to score a single goal in this series. A small miracle is needed in the third period if they want to win this game.
	40:00	2nd period finished.

	32:18	Alexei Petrov (Atlant) gts two minutes for roughing.
	32:02	Lots of emotions in this match. There was a heavy fist fight after this scene.
	32:02	Almost an "own goal" by Yuri Alexandrov. From behind the net a pass hit his skates but Kasutin stopped the shot!
	30:27	Alexei Semyonov (SKA) gets two minutes for holding.
	29:38	The hosts are back at full strength. Atlant couldn't use the previous power play and they not even created any danger.
	27:38	Maxim Chudinov (SKA) gets two minutes for roughing.
	26:47	Timeout Atlant.

	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:43	Yuri Alexandrov (SKA) gets two minutes for holding.

		Yesterday the start of the series between SKA and Atlant showed that the underdogs from the Moscow region can cause the regular season winners from St. Petersburg a lot of headache. Although being the dominating team on ice for most of the time, SKA needed overtime to get a very small 1-0 win against Atlant who before also had several big opportunities to win the game. In the end it was Patrick Thoresen who gave the game winner to SKA in power play at 63:42. If SKA can extend their lead in this series or if Atlant can answer, we'll see this afternoon.
		Welcome. Game starts at 15:30 GMT / 16:30 CET.
