    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.
     
    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.
     
    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 . . .
     
    46:32
    Goal for Lev!
    Turnover at the Lev blueline and MARTIN THORNBERG rushes back the other way on a partial breakaway. Being pressured just inside the line he unleashes an absolute rocket of a wrist shot that beats Vasilevsky high to the stick side. Don't go anywhere folks. Shorthanded, unassisted goal.
     
    46:02
    Lev with a penalty on the play, so the faceoff gets moved outside the blueline. Michal Birner for high sticking.
     
    45:26
    Goal for Lev!
    They kept getting chances and Vasilevsky did all he could to keep it out, but finally on about the third rebound PETR VRANA flipped the puck up high with the goalie down and out. Assist: Michal Repik.
     
    43:34
    Sekac from behind the net out front to Patrik Zackrisson, and his one-timer is kicked out by Andrei Vasilevsky. He tried to beat him to the near post but there was no room.
     
    39:58
    Just before the end of the period, Petr Vrana upends a man in the neutral zone and gets called for tripping. Ufa will start the 3rd period on the power play.
     
    37:58
    Jakub Klepis set up at the top of the slot and it looked like his wrist shot was labeled for the top corner, but Andrei Vasilevsky makes a round-the-world glove save to keep Lev off the board.
     
    37:20
    Huge save by Petri Vehanen on Antti Pihlstrom. It looked like he had his countryman down and at his mercy, but the Finnish netminder didn't give up and reached up to get an arm on it and keep Lev's hopes in this game alive.
     
    35:58
    Now finally Vasilevsky covers it with :33 left in the penalty.
     
    35:43
    Tricky-looking wrister from Thornberg hits Vasilevsky up high, I don't think he saw it through traffic.
     
    34:31
    Lev putting on some pressure in the Ufa zone and they draw a penalty, Ivan Vishnevsky going off for hooking. It almost goes without saying they need to cash in here.
     
    32:46
    Goal for Salavat Yulaev!
    Play originates deep in the Ufa zone and a couple of long passes send in IGOR MIRNOV all alone, and he beats Vehanen five-hole along the ice to make it 3-0. Assists: Antti Pihlstrom, Andrei Zubarev.
     
    27:18
    Goal for Salavat Yulaev!
    Nemec coughs up the puck behind the Lev goal fanning on a clearing attemp, Pankov picks it up and passes in front to ALEXEI GLUKHOV, who quickly snaps it just inside the far post. Assist: Alexander Pankov.
     
    25:44
    Across for a one-timer from Thornberg and Andrei Vasilevsky slides across to make a pad save.
     
    23:50
    Now Alexander Stepanov is getting called for holding in his own zone, so Lev is going to the power play for the first time today.
     
    22:42
    Out of the box, Martin Sevc gets sprung on a breakaway, but the defenceman tries to go low stick side and Andrei Vasilevsky makes a pad save. Play goes back the other way . . .
     
    20:33
    Early pressure from Ufa in this 2nd period and now they're going to the power play, as Martin Sevc goes off for holding.
     
    20:24
    Puck comes out in front to Dmitri Makarov, who one-times it from the slot. Huge save by Petri Vehanen from point blank.
     
    17:48
    Goal for Salavat Yulaev!
    What a great individual effort by ALEXANDER PANKOV, weaving his way through the Lev zone to beat both Lev defenceman by himself and waiting for Vehanen to commit before going up high.
     
    11:29
    The first penalty of the game is going to Lev's Martin Thornberg for hooking. Ufa to the power play.
     
    08:15
    Martin Thornberg centres from behind the net to Jiri Sekac for a one-timer and Andrei Vasilevsky forced to react quickly to stop and cover it. Usually it's Sekac that's the passer and Thornberg the shooter.
