    I doubt many expected an offensive outburst like that against a team that is usually very stingy defensively, but a lot of Lev's offence tonight was generated from the team's solid corps of defencemen. Two Canadian d-men, Marc-Andre Gragnani and Spencer Humphries, even scored their 1st KHL goals to help chase the league's all-time wins leader, Michael Garnett, from the game. The win also made Kari Jalonen's coaching debut a success. (22:56:47)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    58:30
    Goal for Traktor!
    They put some pressure on the power play and they finally put it in. Ryabykin shot from the point and Vehanen stopped it but ANTON GLINKIN was there to put in the rebound to make the score look a little bit better. Assist: Dmitri Ryabykin.
     
    57:36
    Traktor putting on some late pressure now and they're going to the power play as Martin Sevc is called for tripping.
     
    57:06
    Another shot from Panov, he's had a lot of shots tonight, hits Vehanen in the arm.
     
    54:50
    Draw won straight back to Katichev, who's slapper is tipped along the way and hits the pad of Vehanen, then the zone is cleared.
     
    54:45
    Panov shoots on a Traktor rush, hits Vehanen, who covers.
     
    53:51
    Icing Lev.
     
    52:13
    Icing Traktor.
     
    52:00
    Lev kills off another penalty and they start out of the zone.
     
    49:46
    Marc-Andre Gragnani opened the scoring a long time ago and now he's going to the box for hooking. Traktor to the power play.
     
    49:28
    Goal for Lev!
    Jiri Sekac with another enormous effort to set up a goal, again winning a battle in the corner and muscling his way to the front of the net with a man draped over him. He got a shot away that Demchenko stopped, but PATRIK ZACKRISSON was there to put in the rebound. Assist: Jiri Sekac.
     
    48:54
    Valeyev with the shot, another glove save by Vehanen, and he holds it.
     
    47:26
    Tomas Kubalik with the shot, another save Demchenko, who's actually been pretty busy since coming into the game.

    Lukas Cingel seems to have become a permanent fixture on the Lev top line now. This was Niko Kapanen's first game back after missing 5 games with a lower-body injury, and the coaching staff seems to have decided that, with this game in hand, the Finnish Flash shouldn't overdo it.
     
    46:55
    Icing Traktor with :10 left in the off-setting minors.
     
    46:27
    Thornberg crosses the blue line and fires a high rocket that Demchenko knocks down.
     
    45:49
    Panov with the shot, glove save Vehanen and he holds on, as these teams play 4 on 4.
     
    45:05
    Now we have a collision in the neutral zone and we have off-setting minors. Petri Kontiola goes back to the box for hooking, while Lukas Cingel gets holding the stick.
     
    44:48
    Klepis shoots on the rush, Demchenko gets a pad on it and Kubalik tried to sweep in the rebound but it hopped just over his stick.
     
    43:53
    Sekac crosses the line and fires a high wrister that Demchenko catches and holds.
