    59:45
    Carle goes to the bozx to give Yugra a 6-on-4 chance with just a little time left.
     
    59:00
    Yugra trying to get Kunetsov to the bench and he makes it.....6-on-5!
     
    52:44
    Lady luck pushes some karma to the Medvescak guys. Willsie gets a puck he isn't ready for and just king of backhands it. Kunetsov misses it on the stick side. Home team takes the lead.
     
    50:06
    A puck sits there for Vesce to slam in on a rebound, but Khvostov just pokes it to the boards. :47 left on the 5-on-3.
     
    49:43
    Cheechoo has Kunetsov on his back but the Yugra player gets a deflection off his stick into the safety net. It was called intentional....5-on-3 for Medvescak. Shefer gets the delay of game call.
     
    49:17
    Carle flubs a puck and gives Yugra a breakaway chance. Foster makes the play to save a good chance on Brust. Neutral zone faceoff as the net comes off the posts.
     
    49:04
    Medvescak frustrates Yugra with the pressure and forces them into a tripping call. Power play for the Bears.
     
    48:00
    On three straight opportunities Linglet has been on the door step for several deflections and rebound tries. Kunetsov is ridiculous tonight.
     
    46:14
    It is Murray and friends again as Medvescak gets another shorthanded chance, their second. Biryukov does his best to save it and holds on.
     
    45:23
    Letang gets called for a hooking call as Yugra tries to get a little tic-tac-toe in. He stopped a scoring chance, but loses his team a man for 2 minutes.
     
    42:10
    Svarny hits Linglet for a deflection opportunity, but Biryukov gets a little help on covering the post on a couple rebound tries.
     
    32:22
    Willsie goes to the box for hooking. Yugra on the power play.
     
    32:11
    Willsie almost gets one after a offensive zone faceoff. Just prior, Cheechoo had a couple point blank chances of his own.
     
    29:18
    Yugra gets a chance of their own as Petrovich gets a tripping call.
     
    28:52
    An odd man rush for Medvescak at the end of the power play leads to Cheechoo getting a centering pass. Not going to miss those.
     
    28:19
    Medvescak is getting a lot of traffic in front and really getting some close range rebounds. Biryukov is somehow grabbing everything but it looks dangerous.
     
    26:59
    Yugra gets a penalty and Brust leaves for the bench. The Medvescak defenseman misses the puck and it goes all the way back and barely misses an open net. They would have been extremely embarrassing.
     
    23:10
    Katic is in the penalty box for tripping. Yugra on the power play.
     
    19:44
    Khvostov gets a late slashing call and will give Medvescak a long power play to start the 2nd.
     
    16:11
    Thomas fakes a fall into the Yugra keeper and gets caught. He is off for goaltender interference and gives a minute of 4-on-4.
     
    15:52
    Murley gets a nice feed and slams it, but somehow Biryukov gets back. Yugra holds the lead.
     
    15:21
    Linglet puts a nice hit on Knyazev, and Knyazev gets caught retaliating on the trip. Medvescak on the power play.
     
    14:10
    Thomas almost scores one on a shorthanded try. Just missed. Almost a tie game there.
     
    12:41
    Goal scorer Gusev is down on the far side boards. He gets up but struggles to the bench. Foster gets a penalty for the hit. Power play for Yugra.
     
    12:00
    Willsie steals the puck in the neutral zone and makes a nice move to get a one-on-one. With a bad angle he goes for the centering pass, but no one is at home for Medvescak. The puck is iced by Yugra and we have a commercial break.
     
    09:06
    Goal for Yugra!
    Yugra gets one on Brust. He looks in position but it goes over his glove. Credit to Gusev with the nice shot across Brust's body to get it on the open side.
     
    01:41
    Kunetsov comes out and plays the puck, but directly to the forechecking Medvescak forward. He just gets a stick on it in reaction and barely misses the empty net.
