In the end the Admiral win during their KHL home opener was never in danger anymore! Admiral stopped a four-game losing streak today and they now have 8 points while CSKA lost three in a row! Shots on goal: Admiral 2 (21) – CSKA 5 (25)

	55:30	The hosts are defending with early pressing deep inside the CSKA third and barely let them out of their own zone.
	53:15	Currently it doesn't really look like CSKA could get the Admiral win into any danger but they have proven in the past more than once their come back qualities!
	51:38	Huge scoring opportunity for Felix Schütz during a break away after reciving a long pass inside the neutral zone but in the following 1-on-1 he was stopped with a pad save by Proskuryakov when he tried it with a fast shot into the left bottom corner! What a chance for Admiral!
	48:00	CSKA are incrasing their efforts significantly after their second goal! They try it with all or nothing in the last minutes!
	47:17	Goal for CSKA! With a shot from short distance out of the crowd the guests cut the deficit to two goals through ILYA ZUBOV – 4-2 now! Assisted by Denis Denisov and Ilari Filppula.
	46:51	Proskuryakov almost with the same mistake as Stana in the previous period when he was trying to keep a puck in play.
	46:00	The hosts fail to keep the puck inside the CSKA third and the guests are back at full strength.
	44:58	Suddenly Enver Lisin was through alone in front of Proskuryakov but his back hander from short distane was blocked by the goalie in the last moment!
	44:00	Brandon Reid (CSKA) gets two minutes for tripping.
	42:30	The hosts from Vladivostok are dominating the match at the start of the third period. They wait for a reaction of CSKA and possible counter opportunities.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Admiral had a perfect start into the period which they only could have dreamed of with two goals within just 10 seconds of the 21st minute. Shortly afterwards CSKA answered with a goal in their first power play but later Admiral restored their three-goal lead for a deserved 4-1 after 40 minutes!

	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:35	A distance shot by Enver Lisin forced guest goalie Proskuryakov to make a save to the left side in the last moment!

	35:30	CSKA are more active again after their recent setback but so far the Admiral defense stays very calm.
	32:35	Goal for Admiral! Suddenly three Admiral players appeared just in front of Proskuryakov and as it looked the following shot from just right to the net by DENIS OSIPOV went in with Felix Schütz and Niclas Bergfors waiting for a possible rebound!
	31:38	After a hard crash in front of the Admiral net guest forward Igor Fefelov leaves the ice injured. He apparently has suffered a leg injury and gets further treatment on the bench.
	31:38	A one-timer by CSKA's Ilya Zubov from the right circle is caught by Lundström without problems.

	27:30	The game is completely open currently and the next goal could change everything.

	20:39	Goal for Admiral! The hosts double their lead through ENVER LISIN whose powerful shot from short distance went past Stana!
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		In an even first period without many dangerous situations the first big opportunity was used already by Admiral's Viktor Drugov at the end of the first period for a lucky but not undeserved 1-0 lead for the hosts from Far East in their home opener in KHL. Shots on goal: Admiral 7 – CSKA 9
	20:00	1st period finished.
	18:37	Goal for Admiral! Immidiately after receiving the puck VIKTOR DRUGOV fired a shot from within the slot past the surprised Rastislav Stana to get the 1-0 lead for the home side! It's the first Admiral KHL goal at home in their franchise history.
	18:14	Enver Lisin is stopped by two opponents in the attempt to have a fast rush over the right wing.
	16:53	After a harmless shot by CSKA's Maxim Goncharov from the right wing at height of the blue line, there was almost a fight because the guests were a little too aggressive in trying to get a rebound.

	07:22	On the other side of the ice a shot by Ilya Zubov from within the slot doesn't make it through towards the net.
	06:21	Vladimir Pervushin gives a cross-pass from the right circle but the angle was very sharp and in the end the puck only hit the skates of a CSKA defender.
	05:11	Enver Lisin conqueres the puck for Admiral inside the neutral zone and immidiately skates towards the guest net but fails to deke out Stana from short distance!
	03:58	After winning a face off at the right circle the guests fail to get a shot on goal but as Lundström covered the puck up there will be another face off.
	03:10	Icing against CSKA:
	02:54	Maxim Goncharov's shot from the right wing is easily caught by Lundström.
	02:43	Both teams are back at full strength after a rather uneventful 4 on 4.
	02:16	Admiral's Denis Osipov tries it with a one-timer from the blue line but his shot is blocked by a defender.
	00:43	Felix Schütz (Admiral) and Andrei Pervyshin (CSKA) were already sent to the penalty benches. There will be two minutes of 4 against 4 if nothing serious happens in the meantime.
	00:01	Game started.
		With 5,500 spectators the arena is sold out. Not much of a surprise for a new franchise in their home opener off course.
		The newly built arena in Vladivostok looks quiet different from the other ones. For example it has 4 different levels of seating instead of the typical 1-3 in the other KHL arenas. The huge wall behind one of the goals has some similiarities to Arena Omsk.
		The Russian national anthem is played which means that the game is about to start in a few minutes.
		Before the game starts there is a little ceremony by the KHL for the home opener of Admiral Vladivostok.
		Starting lineups: Admiral Vladivostok: Lundström (Ivannikov) – Osipov, Antropov, Porseland, Ternavsky, Perry, Zemchyonok, Poleshchuk, Kostromitin – Lisin, Bergfors, Schutz, Lesnukhin, Drugov, Bortnikov, Pervushin, Barbashev, Kuznetsov, Sokolov, Grachyov CSKA Moscow: Stana (Proskuryakov) – Pervyshin, Misharin, Denisov, Goncharov, Naumenkov, Gimayev, Kurbatov – Zharkov, Grigorenko, Prokhorkin, Filppula, Zubov, Shirokov, Lyubimov, Reid, Saprykin, Fefelov, Zainullin, Kamayev Referees: Bondar, Belov – Matyusha, Chernyshev
		KHL newcomers Admiral Vladivostok are currently 13th in Eastern Conference with 5 points in 7 games, just ahead of last placed Far East rivals Amur Khabarovsk due to the better goal difference.After a solid start Admiral lost all their last four matches and the last three of them even without winning a single point. They were beaten by Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk (5-6 SO), Salavat Yulayev (1-4), Metallurg Magnitogorsk (1-4) and Traktor Chelyabinsk (1-3) to end a seven-game road trip at the start of their first ever KHL campaign. Today's opponents CSKA Moscow who had a start with a lot of ups and downs and have a for their expectations rather disappointing 7th spot in the Western Conference with 13 points in 9 games will be Admiral's first opponent they receive at home. After a high with three consecutive wins, CSKA lost their last two matches against Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (1-2) on home ice and Vityaz Podolsk (2-3). CSKA are the clear favourites in Vladivostok but who'll get the W will see soon!
		Welcome. Game starts at 10:00 GMT / 11:00 CET / 13:00 MSK, 20:00 local time in Vladivostok.
