    This series is over as CSKA wins 2-1 to sweep this series in 4 straight games. Lev's season is done and their fans are now giving them a standing ovation.

    They were all close games, with two games decided in overtime and another by one goal, but the major difference was CSKA's power play was much more effective, mostly due to the playmaking of Alexander Radulov. Goaltenders Rastislav Stana and Tomas Popperle were both outstanding throughout the series.

    CSKA advances to the second round, which will begin next Wednesday. In the meantime, check back at Eurolivescores.com for KHL playoff coverage. (21:15:29)

    Now Lev's comeback hopes have been dealt a serious blow as he's getting 2+10 for checking to the head for a big hit on Prokhorkin behind the net. He is incensed by the call and he'd better watch out or they might add a game misconduct. Lukas Cingel is going to serve the minor.
