    Seven penalties for Barys, including two long 5-on-3s were all the difference in the game for Medvescak. They capitalized on their improving special teams play to get their eighth straight point.
     
    11 shots for Medvescak that period and 35 on the game.

    14 shots for Barys and 35 on the game.
     
    Medvescak bookends a three game winning streak by beating the league's best teams: SKA and Barys. An impressive effort here tonight by both teams. Medvescak got the lead and Barys just could not get back into it.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:45
    Savchenko's slapper is brushed aside and another icing after another cross ice attempt by Medvescak. Bears call a timeout to regroup a bit for the final :15.
     
    59:15
    Faceoff back in Zagreb zone after a flip toward the empty net misses and icing is called.
     
    58:49
    Timeout called by Barys and Ahonen is on the bench for a faceoff in Medvescak's zone.
     
    58:30
    Ahonen looking to the bench now for the call to leave. Action going on in neutral zone.
     
    57:00
    Barys playing strong in the Medvescak zone. Getting some traffic in front of Brust, but he is standing his ground.
     
    55:30
    Cheechoo screams down the ice to hammer a player on the forecheck. Otherwise, game has become a little tight. Play stays along the boards on both sides of the ice.
     
    53:40
    Barys back strong in the Medvescak zone. Brust loses a puck and looks behind him....it was on the boards. His defender ices the puck and gives him a chance to set back up.
     
    52:13
    Linglet goes 1-on-1 with Semyonov. He waits for Willsie who feeds it to a trailing Vesce. A good chance that just misses wide.
     
    51:00
    Medvescak finally gets a rush out of their zone after playing in their own corners for a bit. Ahonen holds on to stop an incoming Cheechoo train.
     
    49:30
    Barys is controlling the play now in Medvescak's zone. Nothing getting to Brust, but they are determined to quite the crown, now chanting MEDVESCAK--ZAGREB.
     
    47:57
    Commercial break here. Barys stops Medvescak from doing anything on that extra man chance. Dawes is on the ice to try to get this one ties up for Barys as they return to action.
     
    45:22
    Litvinenko gives Medvescak another chance on the power play where they have two goals today already. Tripping is the call.
     
    44:49
    Willsie almost gets one after being left alone in front of the net. He has been great the past two games. A real troublemaker out there.
     
    44:23
    Goal for Barys!
    Grebenshchikov skates hard to Brust's right and gets a nice feed. It puts it away and we have a close one again here.
     
    41:55
    Barys is back at full strength, but not after letting one in.
