    Thank you for following the game with us! (19:46:04)
     
    With this win SKA St. Petersburg were able to improve their record further to a 6-0-0-0 and the full count of 18 points. For Dinamo it was another setback and the third consecutive loss. The guests from Belarus remain at just four points after now 6 matches.
     
    Despite several good scoring opportunities on both sides the guests were never able to bring the SKA win into danger in the third period. Instead Evgeny Ketov used a late power play to make it even 5-1 for SKA!

    Shots on goal: SKA 8 (42) – Dinamo 13 (36)

    54:00
    Dinamo are investing more into this match again but with their three-goal deficit in mind it doesn't really look like they could change the outcome of this game anymore.
     
    52:29
    SKA are controlling everything on the ice quite easily and even can allow themselves to waste chances like Malyshev who again failed to hit the puck with his stick waiting at the left post!
     
    50:32
    After a check from behind by SKA's Evgeny Skachkov it was Dinamo forward Alexei Yefimenko who slipped on the ice and crashed into the boards with his head first! After a short break he left the ice for further treatment!
     
    49:58
    Jacob Micflikier misses the net from just two metres distance and the puck goes wide past the right post! What a chance!
     
    47:36
    Geoff Platt tried to get the puck into the right bottom corner somehow with several shots but Ezhov always blocked them. The chance was gone when Semenov checked Platt while a Dinamo team colleague crashed into the net so that it moved out of its original position.
     
    46:28
    Strong solo by Dinamo forward Gavrus whose shot from within the slot misses the right top corner just by inches!
