    Medvescak now on a tear with four straight wins and 23 straight penalty kills stopped.
     
    Brust stops 19 shots in the third period alone to get his first shutout for Medvescak. The Bears only had 4.

    Shots for the game were 21 for Medvescak and 32 for Avto.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:34
    That last one ended the game in all practicality for Avto. Just going through the motions now as the clock tick down.
     
    57:58
    Gusev with a horrible play to get the puck up ice from behind his own net. He passes it to a standing Murley, patiently makes his move and gets his second of the game.
     
    57:00
    Medvescak playing defense now as the clock is winding down. Brust also playing it safe by covering a lot more. Faceoff to the right of the keeper in the Zagreb zone.
     
    55:20
    Medvescak at full strength.
     
    54:59
    Avtomobilist looking good with Lepisto and Viklund, but Brust scoops a puck up with his glove and holds it tall to get the ref to stop play.
     
    53:20
    Katic gets called for a tripping penalty and Avto has their fifth power play chance of the game.
     
    52:15
    Malykhin gets a breakaway on Brust and make the move toward his stick side. Brust plays him aggressive and comes out to take the angle. He poke checks the opportunity away as #98 is planning his move. The best opportunity for Avto so far.
     
    51:00
    Svarny flicks an innocent puck in the Kovar covers. Medvescak looking to slow the back and forth pace down a bit with some better possession of their own.
     
    49:30
    The crowd trying to power Medvescak out of their zone as things pick up in volume here. Avto playing with a sense of urgency as time is running low.
     
    48:00
    The game is slowing down and becoming a chess match with Willsie and friends battling Lewandowski and the Streltsov's. After an icing, Medvescak takes a faceoff in their zone with Cheechoo and Mulrey (2 points each) back on the ice.
     
    46:45
    Antonov getting a little frustrated with his team's inability to clear the puck from the Bears 4th line leads to a near late hit on Jessiman. A good shift by Koren to keep the momentum in favor of Medvescak.
     
    44:39
    It is the Cheechoo line again giving the Avto defense problems. This time a 3-on-2 feed from Vesce across Cheechoo to Murley leads to a nasty one-timer that is deflected into the safety net. Kovar is safe again on another quality chance.
     
    43:28
    The penalty kill count is now 22 straight for Medvescak! A much better power play for Avto, even getting Brust on his back and flailing. No goals though as the score remains 2-0 in favor of Medvescak.
     
    41:27
    Carle goes to the box to give Avto another opportunity on a hooking call.
     
    41:20
    Avto gets a couple early shots to test Brust. They setup in their own end after a clear and give it another go.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
