Sunday 13.10.2013, 15:00 • KHL
     
    Thank you for following the game with us! (17:19:47)
     
    For the young Admiral franchise today's win is for sure one of the big highlights of their first ever KHL season while SKA are being less dominant in recent weeks.
     
    SKA tried everything to come back in the last 20 minutes of this game but today the guest defense and especially their goalie Ivannikov were just too strong for them!

    Shots on goal: SKA 16 (45) – Admiral 7 (20)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:25
    The ice gets even a bit emptier as Niclas Bergfors (Admiral) gets two minutes for tripping – still they have a 4 on 3 power play.
     
    58:55
    Now everything is going wrong for SKA! They receive a two minute team penalty for having too many players on the ice when they pulled Salak out of his net for an additional attacker but were too aggressive by doing so. With a 5 on 3 against them this is probably the end of their comeback hopes!
     
    58:45
    Timeout SKA!
     
    57:42
    A big shorthanded break away for SKA but Tikhonov's back hander from short distance is deflected wide by the last defender before Ivannikov could react!
     
    56:24
    Evgeny Ryasensky (SKA) receives a match penalty for an elbow check against the head against Maxim Sokolov who leaves the ice injured. In for him in the penalty box is Andrei Sigaryov. A huge setback in SKA's attempts to turn this game around!
     
    56:22
    That was close! Felix Schutz almost stole the puck inside the neutral zone from the last SKA defender... !
     
    55:52
    The home fans are more and more impatient with their team.
     
    55:37
    After a pass from behind the net Dmitry Kalinin appeared alone in the slot but his one-timer from short distance was stopped with a brilliant pad save by Ivannikov!
     
    55:03
    A one-timer by Evgeny Ryasensky from close to the left circle is deflected wide by an Admiral defender.
     
    53:26
    The guests are back at full strength after suriving a crucial penalty killing without any harm.
     
    52:26
    Cervenka with a lot of time and space but his shot from within the slot is blocked by Ivannikov who gets stronger and stronger.
     
    52:05
    A shot by Kalinin through a lot of traffic goes wide.
     
    51:26
    Todd Perry (Admiral) gets two minutes for holding.
     
    50:42
    An Admiral counter led to a harmless shot on goal into the gloves of Salak from the left circle. But if the guests continue in defense like they do by now in the third period the equalizer and overtime are only a question of time.
     
    49:41
    Huge save by Ivannikov who deflected a shot from short distance to the side that many people in the arena had seen in already! Just seconds before he had stopped several shots from all kinds of diffrerent angles.
     
    48:49
    Viktor Tikhonov suddenly won the puck inside the Admiral third but his shot from within the slot with a free lane in front of him was deflected wide by goalie Ivannikov.
