    No overtime today for Medvescak after three games with extra periods. They hold on to take out Yugra. The game didn't seem as close as the score indicates with Medvescak dictating the play.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:45
    Carle goes to the bozx to give Yugra a 6-on-4 chance with just a little time left.
     
    59:33
    Medvescak ices the puck trying to get a long one to the empty net. Time out Yugra.
     
    59:00
    Yugra trying to get Kunetsov to the bench and he makes it.....6-on-5!
     
    57:30
    Medvescak's defense not letting any of the Yugra shots get to Brust. Cheechoo is delaying the game a bit with some good footwork. They're not giving Kunetsov a chance to bring on the 6th man.
     
    56:00
    Yugra putting the pressure on Medvescak now. Getting a couple of innocent pucks on Brust's pads. Linglet floats a even strength clear and both teams change lines.
     
    54:18
    Medvescak is pressing on the gas, still taking it to Kunetsov, but he gloves one off a passing skaters stick.
     
    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.
     
    51:42
    Yugra kills a long 5-on-3. They are at full strength.
     
    51:06
    5-on-4 now for Yugra. The goal has been knocked off twice now by Yugra and the Zagreb crowd wants the delay of game call. Vesce was close a couple of times, but just missed it. :38 to go on the power play for Medvescak.
     
    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.
     
    47:23
    Medvescak at full strength
     
    Apologies. That is Kunetsov in goal, not Biryukov. We apologize for that mistake.
     
    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.
