Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod
Thursday 19.09.2013, 19:00 • Tipsport Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    What a wild game in Prague, particularly the third period, and despite looking not so great for two periods and part of the third Lev takes 2 points on home ice and they now get quite an ovation from their fans in the handshake. (21:43:12)
     
    Game over.
     
    MICHAL BIRNER is credited with the game-winning goal in the shootout.
     
    Tim Brent tries to go forehand but misses the net, and the game is over.
     
    Martin Thornberg scores for Lev on the backhand deke, so Torpedo needs to score to keep this going.
     
    Sakari Salminen for Torpedo tries to go five-hole on the backhand but Vehanen makes a pad save.
     
    Michal Birner is the first shooter for Lev, he scores on the forehand high to the stick side.
     
    Start of shootout.
     
    So no scoring in overtime though Lev had their foot to the pedal and were going for it, hitting the post twice. Shootout coming up now. 3 on 3, then sudden death.
     
    65:00
    Overtime finished.
     
    64:42
    Thornberg the long shoot in from the neutral zone, easy stick save Gelashvili.
     
    63:55
    Klepis winds up and his slapper hits a stick and goes out of play. Faceoff in the Torpedo zone.
     
    62:40
    Lev hits the post for the 2nd time in OT! I think it was Nemec who was pinching in from the point who shot that one.
     
    62:29
    Puck goes out of play as we reach the halfway point of overtime. Faceoff in the Torpedo zone.
     
    60:52
    Salimen steps out of the box and tries to take a breakaway pass, but can't catch it and it goes for icing against Torpedo.
     
    60:27
    Oystrick fires wide, then Kapanen hits the goalpost.
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    A wild third period, especially the last 12 minutes, and we're tied 3-3 after 60 minutes of hockey so we'll play up to 5 minutes more. It'll be 4 on 4 hockey, though it'll start 4 on 3 as :45 remains in the Torpedo bench minor. Lev scored twice to tie it there and were clearly going for the regulation win and 3 points on that late power play, but couldn't score before the horn.

    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game) Lev 15 (28), Torpedo 4 (34).

    Sudden-death overtime will begin in less than one minute.
     
    60:00
    3rd period finished.
     
    59:46
    Now Gelashvili goes down and so does Sevc, who was standing in front of the net on the power play, We're going to get coincidental minors here to Martin Sevc and goaltender Georgy Gelashvili, and just now sorting out who will serve the goalie's penalty.
