    They had to survive a bit of a late scare, but overall Dynamo Moscow played a great road game. They got the only goal they needed late in the second period and then tightened it up. The first half of this game Traktor was the more dominant team but they couldn't get enough quality chances to really test Yeryomenko, whose best save came in the 28th minute off Yegor Dugin.

    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Traktor 7 (25), Dynamo 5 (16).

    Faceoff wins: Traktor 13 (Kontiola 5/13), Dynamo 29 (Gorovikov 12/15).

    Time on ice leaders: Traktor – Ryabykin 30:50, Dynamo – Jalasvaara 22:23.

    The series now shifts back to Moscow, where Dynamo will try to wrap up their second-straight Gagarin Cup championship on home ice on Monday. Check back with Eurolivescores.com for live coverage. (17:12:09)

    Game over.
     
    58:54
    A glorious chance to tie, Maxim Yakutsenya with the one-timer from the top of the slot with Yeryomenko going the wrong way and he fires it high. They might not get a better chance than that.

    55:00
    Low slapper from the point by Antipov, kicked out by Yeryomenko.

    Nichushkin, back on the ice after getting hit earlier by that shot, spins out of the corner and fires a low shot, pad save Yeryomenko.
     
    52:00

    49:00
    Traktor escapes that penalty and now have half a period to try to tie this game.
     
    47:46
    Michael Garnett made what might turn out to be a game-saving glove save off of Gorovikov, he was down on his backside but managed to flash to leather and catch the shot. 1:01 left in the penalty.
     
    46:47
    Traktor's Alexei Vasilchenko is being assessed 2+10 for a check to the head, so that'll take him out of action for pretty well the rest of regulation time and give Dynamo a glorious chance to take firm control of this game.
     
    46:30
    Dynamo just about went up 2-0 as Petruzalek and Tsvetkov worked a give-and go and Tsvetkov just missed the pass that would have given him an empty net to shoot at.
