Sunday 13.10.2013, 13:00 • Tipsport Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    A frantic 3rd period with Lev getting 2 goals to make for a dramatic finish, but can't get the equaliser and Ufa prevails 3-2. (15:10:11)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:45
    Thornberg shoots, pad save Vasilevsky.
     
    59:26
    Offside Lev. They're trying to organise a rush into the zone with possession instead of dumping it in, and they're having a hard time doing so.
     
    58:35
    Lev has to start back from their own zone.
     
    58:10
    Petri Vehanen stays on the bench, so Lev with 6 skaters on the ice for the faceoff in the Ufa zone to the right of Vasilevsky.
     
    58:10
    Timeout Lev. We'll see if Vehanen stays on the bench now or whether they'll wait a while.
     
    58:10
    Icing Ufa, who are doing all they can to keep Lev from setting up shop in their zone.
     
    57:08
    Repik shoots rushing from the right wing just wide.
     
    55:37
    Thornberg with a low wrister from far out, stick save Vasilevsky.
     
    54:50
    Icing Ufa.
     
    54:20
    Ufa kills off the penalty without giving up a shot, and now Lev is called for offside.
     
    53:11
    The puck is deflected into the Lev bench with 1:06 left in the penalty. Faceoff outside the Lev blue line.
     
    52:17
    Ufa under pressure and now get called for too many players on the ice. Lev to the power play and the crowd is on its feet.
     
    51:45
    Topi Jaakola shoots from the point off the draw and Vasilevsky clearly didn't see it because he moved his glove hand and the shot hit him in the pad. So close.
     
    51:42
    Lev shoot-in goes on goal and, under pressure, Vasilevsky covers it.
     
    50:30
    Azevedo shoots from the boards, pad save Vasilevsky on his knees, Danielsson tries to stuff in the rebound but there's no room. Play continues . . .
     
    50:16
    Brent Sopel plays the puck with a high stick in his own zone, faceoff inside.
     
    50:01
    Lev rush into the zone, Petr Taticek shoots from the left wing but Vasilevsky makes the glove save. Crowd really into it now. We could be in for quite a finish.
     
    48:05
    Lev back at full strength and the fans give the team a standing ovation for the kill. You can really feel the momentum of this game has shifted.
