		Game over. (15:19:50)
		So it's third place for Salavat who pick up two straight wins over Dinamo Riga. It started so well for Dinamo with an overtime win over Ak Bars, but since then it's been a tale of defeats
		Dmitri Makarov walks into the zone and snipes the wrist shot which cannons off the crossbar and gives Salavat the 2-0 shootout victory
		Miks Indrasis goes next for Dinamo. He dekes out Tarkki, has all the space to score but hits the post
		Hartikainen for Salavat. He gains speed as he goes through and roofs a backhand to make it 1:0 Salavat
		Nizivijs first for Dinamo. He tries to go five hole with a weak wrist shot which is saved. 0:0
		Start of shootout.
