		That was a fierce battle between these two long-time rivals, and CSKA prevails to take a 2-0 series lead. The series now shifts to Dynamo's home ice for games 3 and 4 on Monday and Tuesday, where they will try to even the series.

		It wasn't a goalpost but a pad save by a sprawling Rastislav Stana off of Denis Mosalyov--a game-saver. Dynamo got a couple more chances in the last minute, including a last-second attempt by Petruzalek that just missed the far post.
	60:00	Game over.
	59:10	Big scramble in the CSKA crease, I think the shot hit the post but doesn't go in.
	58:58	Big faceoff upcoming in the CSKA zone, Dynamo net is empty for a 6-on-5 advantage.
	58:58	Timeout Dynamo.
	58:58	Play has now been stopped as Sergei Shirokov is down on the ice injured. It seemed to happen in a collision with Dominik Novak, but no penalty is being called.
	58:32	Shirokov with a high shot for CSKA hits Yeryomenko in the arm.
	57:42	Dominik Novak with a shot from the side, another save Stana. Most Dynamo shots are coming from sharp angles as CSKA keeps the front of the net clear for the most part.
	56:09	Dynamo continues trying to generate offence, Soin with the weak-angle high shot, Stana the save.
	55:26	Dynamo with their best chance to tie the game this period. Petruzalek passed out of the corner to Knyazev in front, whose quick backhander in tight was stopped and covered by Rastislav Stana.
	54:20	Penalty over, Alex Radulov with a shot from the boards, blocker save Yeryomenko.
	53:50	Kvapil with a shorthanded chance but his shot sailed high and wide.
	53:04	Offside CSKA with 1:06 left in their power play. They'd like a goal to put this game away, but also won't mind taking more time off the clock.
	52:13	Actually Denis Mosalyov of Dynamo is getting a penalty on the play--I assume it's interference for dumping the CSKA forward who ended up crashing into the net. So CSKA goes to the power play and the faceoff is inside.
	52:13	Another CSKA rush, Shirokov with the low shot from a sharp angle, stick save Yeryomehko and then the net is dislodged by a fallen CSKA forechecker. Faceoff outside.
	51:31	Back the other way CSKA gets a chance, Yeryomenko covers.
	51:10	Sopin with a backhander from a weak angle, stick save Stana.
	51:01	Icing CSKA.
	50:00	CSKA very difficult to play against when they have the lead in the 3rd period . . they are once again playing very tight defensively.
	48:48	Stana re-directs a long slapper with his blocker off the glass, play continues in the CSKA zone.
	47:12	Offside CSKA.
	46:47	Patrick Davis with the shot from the wing, caught and held by Yeryomenko.
	46:00	Icing CSKA.
	45:41	Back the other way, CSKA's Danny Markov takes a one-timer slapper from the point that's gloved and held by Yeryomenko.
	44:55	Sergei Sopin tries a wraparound but has no room, play continues in the CSKA zone with Dynamo looking for the equalizer.
	44:43	High slap shot from the point by Andrei Mironov is caught and held by Stana.
	43:17	Back the other way, Yeryomenko makes a save and covers for a faceoff.
	43:00	Dynamo's Marek Kvapil tries to put some pressure on the CSKA defense and forces a turnover and gets a weak shot that's turned aside by Stana.
	41:46	Offside CSKA.
	41:10	That's followed by a big hit from Janis Sprukts in the opposite corner, as things getting physical again. FInally the puck is deflected out of play. Faceoff in the Dynamo zone.
	41:00	Big collision between two #14s, Dominik Novak crunches Patrick Davis in the corner.
	40:48	Icing Dynamo.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Teams are back on the ice and the 3rd period will start shortly. It seems there was no penalty call at the end of the 2nd--must have been signalling the puck was played by a high stick.
		That second period was a lot more active than the first period, shot totals weren't higher but quality chances were, and it was more physical. Dmitri Kugryshev scored the period's only goal to give CSKA a 3-2 lead through 40 minutes. Shots on goal in the 2nd period (and game): CSKA 7 (14), Dynamo 5 (14). Faceoffs after 2 periods: CSKA 15/38 (Persson 7/15), Dynamo 23/38 (Gorovikov 8/10). Ice time leaders after 2 periods: CSKA Denisov 14:07, Dynamo Novak 13:33. 3rd period begins at 18:40 MSK, 15:40 CET, 09:40 EST.
	40:00	Right at the end of the period, there's a high sticking call against CSKA, so Dynamo will begin the 3rd period on the power play. I'm not sure which player yet.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:00	Shot from Mosalyov from a weak angle, not sure if Stana made the save or it was blocked in front.
	36:45	Igor Radulov leads a CSKA rush, takes a long high shot that Yeryomenko knocks down with the glove.
	36:23	Icing Dynamo.
	35:35	A bit of sloppy play in the CSKA zone, some Dynamo forecheckers were digging for the puck but unable to get a quality shot, puck is then cleared.
	35:16	Offside CSKA.
	34:05	Dynamo's Konkov with a shot from the high slot, blocker save Stana.
	33:40	Patrick Davis attempts a wraparound for CSKA, the puck goes through the crease untouched.
	32:45	Andrei Mironov head-mans a pass to Alexei Sopin, who makes a great individual move and gets a couple of quality shots on goal, Stana manages to keep the puck out amid a scramble.
	31:35	Offside CSKA.
	31:20	Solovyov gets a shot from the point that Stana catches and holds, followed by some more push and shoving after the whistle.
	30:58	Offside Dynamo.
	30:20	Gorokhov of Dynamo gets a quick shot off the draw, Stana knocks it down with his glove and then covers.
	30:13	Icing CSKA.
	29:30	Stana makes an easy save on a long shot, CSKA starts back the other way.
	27:41	Yevgeni Ryasensky with a glorious chance to give CSKA a 2-goal lead, beating a defenceman to the outside and trying to pick the near corner but Alexander Yeryomenko makes a very big save to keep his team in it.
	25:22	Goal for CSKA! DMITRI KUGRYSHEV wins a battle for the puck behind the Dyamo goal, then circles the net and fires a high shot to give his team the lead back. Assists: Shaone Morrisonn, Nikolai Prokhorkin.
	24:30	Dangerous give-and-go between Kirill Knyazev and Denis Mosalyov, the former with a one-timer that Stana kicks away.
	24:30	The two teams exchanging big bodychecks this shift, as bad feelings starting to build up.
	24:00	Dynamo hand pass from their own zone into the neutral zone, faceoff back in their own zone.
	23:00	Puck gets deflected out of play in the CSKA zone, faceoff inside.
	22:23	CSKA continues to keep up the pressure in the the Dyamo zone, Prokhorin deflects a shot from Grigorenko in front, Yeryomenko had to be sharp.
	22:15	Now back at full strength, a shot from Ilya Zubov on the rush is caught and held by Yeryomenko.
	21:57	Back the other way, a high slapper from Babashev hits Yeryomenko in the soulder and goes out of play.
	21:50	Shot from Petruzalek turned aside by Stana.
	20:57	CSKA appears to have been called off-side, although the faceoff has been sent back to their zone, which is strange as the puck deflected off a Dynamo skate in the neutral zone.
	20:14	Shirokov and Sergei Soin are given coincidental minors, so we have 4-on-4 hockey.
	20:14	Puck shot down the ice and Yeryomenko covers the puck, then received a snow shower from Sergei Shirokov followed by the predictable pushing and shoving.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Teams are back on the ice and the 2nd period will start shortly.
		The period started off conservatively, but the teams started pressing more as time passed and they eventually traded goals. Shots on goal: CSKA 7, Dynamo 9. Faceoffs: CSKA 7/17 (Persson 4/8), Dyamo 10/17 (Gorovikov 5/6). Ice time leaders: CSKA A. Radulov 7:14, Dynamo Solovyov 7:17. 2nd period begins at 17:50 MSK, 14:50 CET, 08:50 EST.
	20:00	1st period finished.
	18:56	Goal for Dynamo! Momentum swings back to Dynamo--after a great kill, they tie the game. ANDREI MIRONOV fires a slapper from the point that beats Stana top corner for Dynamo's first goal of the series. Assist: Jakub Petruzalek.
	18:30	After that glorious chance from Persson, the Dynamo penalty killers bore down and killed off the rest of the penalty without much problem.
	17:25	Pressure from CSKA, Niklas Persson works his way right in front and fires a wrister from point-blank that Yeryomenko kicks out, then the puck is cleared.
	16:21	After scoring the game's first goal, CSKA is going back to the power play as Jakub Petruzalek is whistled for hooking in the neutral zone.
	14:37	Goal for CSKA! Following a dangerous flurry around the Dynamo goal, Yeryomenko makes a couple of big saves but finally gets beaten on a shot by IGOR GRIGORENKO from the slot. Assists: Oleg Kvasha, Sergei Shirokov.
	14:01	A couple of shots from the point by Alexei Sopin, Stana stops both and freezes the second one.
	12:32	Igor Radulov with a shot on the rush, Yeryomenko holds on.

	09:10	Dynamo penalty is over, CSKA unable to get a shot, and now Dynamo to the power play.

	06:57	Dynamo's Dominik Granak is now getting the game's first penalty for hooking Igor Radulov, who was trying to break clear. CSKA's dangerous power play gets its first opportunity of the game.
	05:48	The puck gets deflected out of play in the Dynamo zone, faceoff inside.
	05:15	Now CSKA gets its first shot from Alexei Marchenko, Yeryomenko catches and holds it.

	04:00	Marek Kvapil of Dynamo shot from a weak angle but it went just wide, so we still don't have a shot.
	03:18	Icing CSKA. Still waiting for the game's first shot on goal.
	01:18	Now the puck goes into the Dynamo bench off a Dynamo stick. Faceoff at the Dynamo blueline.
