    Medvescak starts a road trip in St. Petersburg on Monday against undefeated SKA and Slovan goes home to play Torpedo.
     
    Thank you for joining us in a thriller! Medvescak carries a 3-1 lead into the 3rd and Slovan takes the game in overtime. They now have their first three points of the year.
     
    Game over.
     
    61:43
    Goal for Slovan!
    . A mini 2-on-1 and Dekanich does not know who to cover. He goes for the shooter this time, but the quick pass and shot ends the game.
     
    61:00
    Each team gets a shot and each keeper gets a save. Cheechoo flying around for the Bears.
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    11 of Slovan's 28 wins last year came in overtime or after penalties. Can they continue this trend? Sudden death on its way!
     
    60:00
    3rd period finished.
     
    59:57
    A near Medvescak break and neutral zone turnover turns into a Slovan break the other way. Dekanich comes up big.
     
    59:30
    Almost overtime here in Zagreb. Players seem resigned to the idea.
     
    58:30
    Medvescak looks like they lost their legs a little bit out here. They're having a hard time getting up ice.
     
    56:07
    Goal for Slovan!
    . A huge pile up of players by the blue line and a puck trickles loose toward the net. Dekanich is clueless to the puck's location and Netik sweeps it in.
     
    54:00
    Stajnoch comes to the bench angry after one shift and bloody and gloveless the next.
     
    52:30
    Thomas and Linglet trying the behind the net action and they have a chance, but miss on the backhand. Slovan getting some chances too, but Dekanich is holding strong.
     
    50:45
    Kane getting worked by Mikhalik on the boards and then the big d-man gives him an after the play push. Koren and Perkovich providing injections of energy. Cheechoo back on the ice for a Slovan zone faceoff.
     
    48:47
    Medvescak almost gets one of their own when Mikhalik cannot find the puck. It lands just short of the goal line and it is kicked away by Janus.
     
    47:05
    Goal for Slovan!
    . Bartovic gets a feed from Mikus behind the net and slides one in between several Medvescak players sprawled out.
     
    46:09
    Cheechoo with a wraparound chance an it is knocked high into the net.
     
    45:30
    Slovan starting to turn up the physical game a bit. Dancing between drawing a penalty or going to the box themselves. They need shots with those checks.
