    Final word –
    game wasn't all that bad. Metallurg surprised with some nice attacking hockey during opening period and deserved one goal lead. Army Team added to their play enormous desire in second period and outshot home team (20-9). Therefore, their one goal lead after second period was also deserved. Quick goal for home team at the beginning of third period probably broke some plans for CSKA's play and both teams were quite equal in terms of possesion in that period. Unnecessary mistake by Kurtis McLean near the end of third period forced home team to defend with three players only in overtime and that proved to be crucial. Maxim Goncharov used his ability to score important goals and finished the game with clever shot from right side.
