    Goal for Barys!
    What a great team work from Barys guys – NIGEL DAWES and BRANDON BOCHENSKI exchange passes inside the attacking zone only to trick the defenders and Salak and find DUSTIN BOYD all by himself on the right side two meters away from goal – nice job!

    Goal for SKA!
    ILYA KOVALCHUK gets the puck right after faceoff is thrown on his right side in offensive zone. EVGENY KETOV actually won in faceoff, passed the puck to KOVALCHUK who one-times it into the home net from in-between the circles
