We're all tied up at the Tipsport Arena! It's NIKOLAI ZHERDEV getting his first goal for HC LEV. Barulin made the first save, but he couldn't stop the rebound going right onto the stick of Zherdev, who backhanded it over the diving Russian netminder
HC LEV draw to within one. They get another odd man rush and this time they convert. Tomas Kubalik brings the puck up the right wing, and drops the puck back to HC LEV's captain PETR VRANA who wrists the puck into the top left corner.
It's a beautiful powerplay goal for Kazan, who jump out to a two goal lead in the final minute of the period. Svitov dishes to the left wing to Tomas Vincour, who finds CHRIS BOURQUE at the back post with an accurate pass, and the Canadian forward gets his second of the Prague Hockey Cup.
Ak Bars Kazan have tied it up less than 30 seconds after! It's the fourth line once again, as ARTYOM LUKOYANOV turns from provider to scorer, moving the puck from the left corner. Engren attempted the poke check but Lukoyanov puts the puck round the Finnish netminder to give Ak Bars the lead once more.
HC LEV make the powerplay count! Nathan Oystrick fires a slapshot which NIKO KAPANEN deftly tips. The puck sails into the top corner of Barulin's net, giving the Lions the equaliser with seven minutes left in the period.
It was great pressure originally by Artyom Lukoyanov, who tries to jam the puck in at the near post. It eventually squirts out towards the point where STEPAN ZAKHARCHUK fires a howitzer of a slapshot off the crossbar and across the line
