    Fast attack by the home side and they make it 5-3!!! Maxim Yakutsenya with a run over the middel lane, stops close to the Ak Bars net, and gives a perfect pass to his team colleague PETRI KONTIOLA whose shot from short distance went past Barulin who had absolutely no chance to stop this one!

    Goal for AK Bars!

    24:33
    Goal for AK Bars!


    DENIS KULYASH received the puck inside the neutral zone, skated over the left wing and his powerful shot from the left circle find its way into the right bottom corner for the equalizer for Kazan! It looked like Garnett was a bit out of position.

    Without assist.
     
    18:44
    Goal for AK Bars!


    With a strange goal the guests cut the deficit to the half! A Traktor defender wanted to clear a puck left to the home net but his clearance was deflected in by the skates of ALEXEI MOROZOV in power play for the 2-1!

    Without assist.
     
    15:44
    Goal for Traktor!


    Suddenly the puck is in for the 2-0 lead for Traktor!!! Alexei Vasilchenko received the puck at the blue line, at height of the right wing, and tried it with a fast shot that went in past Barulin who barely was able to see the puck with two players standing in front of him! It looks like MAXIM YAKUTSENYA gave the puck the decisive deflection! The Ak Bars goalie did not look good here though.

    Assisted by Alexei Vasilchenko and Petrio Kontiola.
     
    02:57
    Goal for Traktor!


    With the first dangerous shot in this match VALERY NICHUSHKIN scores the early lead for the home side! He received the puck at the right circle, left two opponents behind and then fired the puck into the right corner from short distance with the last defender coming too late! What a start by Traktor!

    Assisted by Nikita Nesterov.
