I hate to second-guess a coaching decision, but pulling Janus at that point was questionable for just that reason. With no fear fo being called for icing, JAN KOLAR fired the puck from deep in his own zone all the way down into the empty net.
They were all over them and finally put it in. The puck came to MAXIM YAKUTSENYA in the slot, and he went upstairs with it as Janus went down. Assist: Oleg Piganovich.
It was a goal after all. The shot from the point by Kutlak was stopped by Janus, but MILAN BARTOVIC put the rebound off Laco's pad and just inside the post and quickly out off the pad. Credit the referee, he was right the first time. Assist: Zdenek Kutlak.
Right off the draw, a shot from the top of the circle was blocked and the puck was sitting loose for MARKO DANO to fire home. Assist: Tomas Mikus.
Donbass has started the 2nd period the same as the first, and right off the draw the get a shot to the net and YEVGENI BELUKHIN is there to bank it in off the skate of Janus. Assist: Clay Wilson, Yevgeni Dadonov.
Dmitri Kagarlitsky passes back to the point to Oleg Piganovich, whose one-time slapper hits the stick of LUKAS KASPAR in front and goes in. Assists: Oleg Piganovich, Dmitri Kagarlitsky.
