    What a game from Prague. For two periods, Lev held a decisive edge but led only 2-1. But Dynamo came with an incredible push in the last half of the third period and the Lev defence, and especially goaltender Petri Vehanen held the fort.

    Goaltenders Alexander Lazushin and Petri Vehenan were named players of the game for their teams here in the arena, and no one could argue with those choices.

    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Lev 6 (33), Dynamo 14 (22). (19:57:16)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:40
    Dynamo wins the draw but the pass back to the point misses and goes back to their own zone.
     
    59:35
    The puck goes out of play almost right off the draw. Faceoff stays inside with :14 left in the Lev penalty.
     
    59:29
    We had some pushing and shoving after the whistle and it appears that Martin Sevc and Martins Karsums are going off. So we're still 5 on 4 for Dynamo.
     
    59:29
    Janne Jalasvaara from the point again and an enormous glove save by Petri Vehanen! My goodness. :20 left in the penalty.
     
    58:53
    Jalasvaara wires a slap shot over the crossbar.
     
    58:30
    The Dynamo net is empty for a 6th attacker.
     
    58:10
    Puck centered to Komarov in the slot, but he's wrapped up immediately and doesn't get much of a shot away.
     
    57:50
    Dynamo going back to the power play as Niko Kapanen trips Dmitri Pestunov behind the Dynamo net, trying to stick check him. It looks like we're in for quite a nerve-wracking finish.
     
    56:59
    Dynamo re-enters the zone off the draw, Kokarev gets a shot but Vehanen makes a glove save and holds it. He didn't have much work through the first 50 minutes or so but the Finnish goalie is sure earning his paycheque right now.
     
    56:50
    Lev is back at full strength and play is now stopped as there was a Dynamo forward parked in the Lev crease. Faceoff outside.
     
    56:20
    Vehanen makes a great blocker save off Novak, then Karsums and Gorovikov both get chances in close but Vehanen keeps them all out. :05 left in the penalty.
     
    55:20
    Novak rips a slapper wide and bounced off the end boards and into the slot, Vehenan didn't know where it was but somebody iced it.
     
    54:40
    Dynamo putting on pressure, now they're going back to the power play as Ryan O'Byrne is called for high-sticking.
     
    54:20
    Dynamo's brief power play is over, and we're back to 5 on 5.
     
    53:42
    A great chance for Dynamo, as defenceman Filip Novak comes in from the point and tries to go up stairs on Vehanen, but the Finnish goalie stands tall and gloves it. Dynamo will go to the power play in :03.
     
    53:00
    Kokarev tries to find Solovyov with a centering pass, but Vehanen deflects it away with his stick.
     
    52:35
    Icing Lev, 4 on 4 play continues.
     
    52:18
    The Lev power play is over as Nathan Oystrick is called for tripping in the neutral zone, so Lev how officially 0/8 in the game, and we'll play 4 on 4 for 1:27.
