    Lev fired 42 shots on goal this game, but other than a brief period in the middle of the second period, Mikko Koskinen was solid in the Sibir goal. At the other end, Atte Engren was pulled after surrendering 3 goals on 13 shots in the first period, though 2 of those goals came directly off of turnovers. For the rest of the game, rookie Jan Lukas was impressive, stopping 11 of 12. (14:49:21)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:27
    Jan Lukas goes to the bench for the extra attacker on the fly.
     
    58:34
    Sibir is now back at full strength and play is stopped as the puck goes out of play in the neutral zone.
     
    57:02
    More pressure from Lev and a shot from the perimeter, glove save Koskinen. 1:28 left in the penalty.
     
    56:48
    Another save by Koskinen, who holds on. The fans are now chanting his name. 1:42 left in this Lev power play.
     
    56:30
    Alexander Kutuzov is called for tripping. Lev will have a 4-on-3 advantage for :03, then it'll be 5-on-4.
     
    54:33
    We've got off-setting penalties now, as Patrik Zackrisson and Ivan Lekomtsev are each going off for roughing following some pushing and shoving. We'll play 4 on 4 for the next two minutes.
     
    54:10
    Now a rocket from the blueline, I'm not sure who exactly, but Mikko Koskinen does it again, flashing the leather and holding on.
     
    53:07
    Koskinen stops a long shoot-in and covers it. Lev now over the 40-shot mark, but need 2 goals.
     
    52:30
    Sibir now back at full strength. Lev had possession in the attacking zone for most of that advantage, but only a couple of quality shots.
     
    51:27
    Ondrej Nemec from the point, hits Koskinen in the chest and he traps it there. 1:01 left in the penalty.
     
    50:55
    Off a faceoff win, Martin Thornberg fired from the point. Mikko Koskinen made a stick save and the puck lied dangerously in the crease. Finally a Siber PKer got his stick on the puck and cleared it.
     
    50:28
    Igor Ozhiganov hits Danielsson without the puck and is going off for interference. The physical play of this game starting to pick up now. Down 2 goals, Lev really needs to cash in on the power play here.
     
    50:06
    Just past the halfway mark of the 3rd period, Petr Vrana ties a shot through traffic but Koskinen sees it all the way and holds on.
     
    49:06
    Now a collision between Sibir's Vitali Karamnov and Lev's Jakub Nakladal, who were both teammates last year with Lev. Nakladal hobbles off the ice. We'll see if he returns.
     
    48:45
    Goal for Sibir!
    They didn't score on the power play, but they get one not long after. DMITRI MONYA led the rush into the Lev zone and fired a hard wrister inside the post.
     
    48:22
    At the tail end of the power play, a shot by Kugryshev and a blocker save Lukas, play continues . . .
     
    47:17
    Kugryshev tried to shoot but the puck skipped over his stick and Lev ices for the second time on this penalty, which is almost half over.
     
    46:24
    Martin Sevc going to the box for hooking. Sibir's been coming on of late and they'd love to cash in here to get a bit of breathing room in this game. They're 0/2 on the power play so far.
