    60:00
    Game over.
     
    Thank you everyone for following us on EuroLiveScores. Metallurg controlled this game and keeps Amur in the KHL standings basement. They looked great today in all facets of the game, but their patience was most impressive.
     
    58:00
    Metallurg goes back to their style of starting behind their own net and going slow....slower than earlier with the game all but over at this point.
     
    56:00
    Both teams fighting hard still, but play is mostly taking place in the neutral zone and behind the nets.
     
    55:00
    Metallurg getting some chances now...still playing hard on offense when they get the chance/
     
    53:00
    Amur controlling the zone now without having any penalties. Makes one wonder what could have been if they did not beat themselves throughout the game. Credit to MG for capitalizing on the opportunities.
     
    50:50
    Amur playing a little selfishly now...mostly trying to create individual chances. Metallurg seems to be okay with this and is just covering their men.
     
    48:30
    Amur getting a little more action now, but Koshechkin is playing it safe and covering the puck. It is really slowing down any momentum Amur is able to manufacture.
     
    47:00
    The action is slow as both teams are getting back into things after the long replay and following commercial break.
     
    It appears the long delay was because the referees determined it did in fact hit Hodgman's skate. However, the contact was incidental and since there was no kicking motion, the score stands.
     
    45:32
    Goal for Metallurg! A sad goal really. A centering pass goes right past Hodgman and goes into the net. Dribbles by slowly. Jarvinen played the man and lost site of the puck. A lucky one goes to Metallurg.
     
    There is a discussion going on to see if the puck was kicked in by the Metallurg player. No call yet. It appears to have missed Hodgman's foot completely.
     
    44:19
    Goal for Metallurg! A shot comes from the left for a deflection by Malinovsky and the rebound goes to Potekhin who knocks it out of the air and behind Jarvinen. This game appears to be out of reach for Amur now.
     
    42:30
    Metallurg looks again as if they are on the power play. Bilalov pokes the puck away at the blue line but he gives away a breakaway opportunity with a poor shot selection from the blue line. It is assumed that he thought his player would crash the net, but it didn't happen.
     
    41:30
    Amur is back at full strength after the Sedunov penalty at the end of the second.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    39:31
    The only thing stopping Amur from getting another penalty is the end of the second period.

    Oddly enough, shots that period were in favor of Amur, 12-9. Amur was assessed three penalties to Metallurg's two.
     
    Sedunov gets a hooking call for Amur. This is really horrible play by a team down by three goals.
