		A complete whitewash for Ak Bars Kazan over Salavat Yulaev Ufa--the latter still seemed tired from last night's game. Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Salavat Yulaev Ufa 6 (16), Ak Bars Kazan 8 (29). (15:09:05)
	60:00	Game over.
	58:38	Goal for AK Bars! Bodrov makes a nice move to cut out from behind the net and get a shot on goal. Tarki made the stick save, but DMITRI OBUKHOV was there to put in the rebound. Assists: Yevgeni Bodrov, Alexander Osipov.
	56:35	Slapper from Andrei Zubarev rings off the post, and then Barulin covers it.

	50:42	Goal for AK Bars! From pressure down low, KIRILL PETROV takes a couple whacks at the puck and finally forces it in. Since it was in the first half of the double-minor, Kazan stays on the power play for another 2 minutes. Unassisted.
	49:14	Vitali Proshkin goes off for restraining Kirill Petrov, who was rushing into the zone. He's getting 4 minutes for high sticking, so his stick must have clipped him in the process. 4-minute power play Kazan.
	48:09	Puck shot into the Ufa bench, faceoff just outside the Kazan blueline.
	47:59	Shot from the point by Kirill Koltsov right on Barulin, who holds on.

	42:00	Khlystov comes out of the box and immediately goes to the forecheck for Ufa.
	40:50	He limped off the ice in the 2nd period, but Chris Bourque (son of Hall-of-Famer Ray Bourque) is back on the power play in the 3rd period.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		The teams have returned to the ice, and the 3rd period faceoff is moments away. Kazan starts the period on the power play, as 1:49 remains in Khlystov's penalty.
		Ufa looked better early in the 2nd period and scored a goal, but whatever momentum they started to build was lost by a series of penalties. While Kazan didn't score that period, they really prevented Ufa from generating any offence. Shots on goal in the 2nd period (and game): Salavat Yulaev Ufa 4 (10), Ak Bars Kazan 8 (21). 3rd period begins at 14:35 CEST.

	35:46	Svitov leads a Kazan rush but he's leveled by Zubarev entering the zone. Later Kazan called for icing with 1:15 left in their power play.

	33:59	Offside Ufa.
	33:45	Some pushing and shoving in front of the Ufa bench, particularly between Sopel and Golubev, but play continues.
	33:24	Denis Khlystov leads an Ufa rush and fires a high wrister that Barulin snares and holds onto.
	33:03	Icing Kazan.
	32:10	Some Kazan pressure, but the puck is cleared, then dumped back in the Ufa zone.
	30:16	Kazan rush, Golubev forced wide and then tries to cut in and stuff it in the short side, Tarkki gives him nothing.

	21:50	Dmitr Makarov is going off for cross-checking, sending Kazan back to the power play--they're 1/2.
	21:15	Vincour with the shot on the Kazan rush, blocker save Tarkki.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Teams are on the ice and the 2nd period will begin shortly.
		It seems only one team came to play today. Ak Bars Kazan totally had their way with Ufa that period, and in fact the score could have been worse. We'll see if it gets better in the 2nd period. Shots on goal in the 1st period: Salavat Yulaev Ufa 6, Ak Bars Kazan 13. 2nd period begins at 13:47 CEST.
	20:00	1st period finished.
	18:55	Alexander Burmistrov with a huge hit at the blueline on Sergei Zinoviev, who folds and goes down. That almost sums up this period in one play. A huge period for the huge Burmistrov so far, while Ufa has looked lethargic.
	17:15	Koltsov from the point, stick save Barulin. This is probably the most sustained pressure Ufa has had all game.
	16:45	Mironov's shot hits the base of the net and goes up and out of play. Faceoff outside the Kazan line.
	15:38	Right off the draw, Panin shoots from the point, pad save Tarkki.
	15:34	Petrov with the shot for Kazan, Tarkki the save and holds on.
	13:48	Icing against Kazan washed out, Tarkki forced to freeze the puck at the side of the Ufa goal. He questions why it wasn't icing, but it appeared the reason was an Ufa player was in the vicinity as the puck went down the ice.
	13:20	Brent Sopel wraps up Golubev, who goes down. No call, play continues.
	12:54	Shot deflected out of play in the Kazan zone, faceoff inside.
	12:17	Barulin makes the save for Kazan and covers.
	11:39	Goal for AK Bars! But now they do score the 3rd goal. Burmistrov goes wide and feeds TIM STAPLETON at the far post, who re-directs it in. Ak Bars has owned this period. Assist: Alexander Burmistrov.
	11:20	Varnakov attempts a wraparound, Tarkki forces him wide, Svitov just fails to knock it in at the far side.
	10:20	Slapper from the point by Heshka, pad save Tarkki.
	09:40	Another Kazan rush, Golubev with the shot, Tarkki catches and holds on.
	09:15	Ufa back to full strength, play in the neutral zone.
	08:30	Tim Stapleton shoots from the point on the power play, but it deflects wide.
	07:05	Ak Bars pressure continues and they're going back to the power play as Denisov is headed back to the box for taking down an Ak Bars forechecker in the slot.
	04:26	Goal for AK Bars! Just 10 seconds later, Ak Bars strikes again. ALEXANDER OSIPOV sends a shot from the point that again goes top corner, this time blocker side on Tarkki. Unassisted.
	04:36	Goal for AK Bars! On the power play, Svitov makes a nice pass to CHRIS BOURQUE, who goes top corner over Tarkki's glove to open the scoring. Assist: Alexander Svitov

	03:39	Icing Kazan on the power play.

	02:23	Teemu Hartikainen with a shot from the right wing, then tried to get his own rebound but Konstantin Barulin covered.
