    In a balanced game throughout the whole evening, Torpedo were able to get the win by surprising Slovan in the second with two quick goals, of which the second by Wojtek Wolski proved to be the game-winner. Neither team impressed tonight and they both showed below average hockey, while they'll have to work hard if they mean to leave a trace as the season progresses.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:01
    Neither team can get into the zone effectively nor establish an offence lately.
     
    58:13
    Icing Slovan as they try to dump and chase, which they have been doing for the past few minutes, without much success.
     
    58:00
    Two minutes left in the third, and probably in the game.
     
    56:49
    Vondrka sends the puck from the right wing to the left post for the oncoming Michel Miklik, but he doesn't get the grip on the puck, missing the net by a few centimetres.
     
    56:06
    Offside Slovan.
     
    55:31
    Pyotr Schastlivy waits behind the net for his team mates to set up with enough time to move the broken stick. The game has calmed and we might have the winner already, as I said in the intermission.
     
    54:39
    Marko Dano takes an easy shot on Gelashvili from the blueline, deflected aside with ease.
     
    53:38
    Slovan get on the offense over the left wing, but the feed to the other side is innacurate. Torpedo try to calm the game down and close the match.
     
    52:35
    Miklik fires coming off the left wing and to the circle, wide of the far post.
     
    51:58
    Still no chances created on the penalty by Slovan, though they've established an offense in the zone.
     
    50:44
    Slovan back to full strenght.
     
    50:42
    Pavel Lukin (TOR) is called for cross-checking.
     
    50:22
    Peter Olvecky takes the puck on the right wing and comes direct to the net, but hits the left post on the penalty shot and still can't get Slovan on board.
     
    50:22
    Peter Olvecky leads a breakaway 2-on-1 with Vladimir Denisov on his back who tripps him a penalty shot.
     
    49:39
    Nothing on the powerplay by Torpedo so far, as Slovan plays a good penalty kill clearing the puck out of the zone.
     
    48:44
    Michal Sersen (SLV) is called for delaying the game.
