    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    63:07
    Spartak at full strength. Medvescak has another chance, but Glass bumps the goal off the post again. The reputation of the goal coming off the moorings at Dom Sportova is being played by Glass effectively.

    48:43
    Medvescak complaining here and rightfully so. Glass dislodges the net on purpose, but the ref lets play continue. Murley puts the net back on and then Glass kicks it off again. No call. Play continues.
     
    47:55
    The Bears are perfect on the penalty kill stopping 4. They are at full strength.

    Ryan goes to the box to serve a too many men on the ice call. Spartak with the extra man.

    43:35

    Both teams battling for a shot now. Action slowing down a bit here at the end of the first.
     
    15:00
    It is Ellison-Vesce-Ryan again causing problems all over the ice for Spartak. On the other end, a 2-on-1 chance was broken up by Pikkarainen. Brust had to stop a shot coming off his rebound, but he is playing strong.
     
    13:30
    Cheechoo and Murley with a quick 2-on-1, but Yunkov blocks the pass with his stick sliding on backward on his belly. Good defensive play by #19 there.
     
    13:00
    Martinovic pinches in on defense and switches with Thomas. They lose track of him and he gets a nice one-timer off from between the circles. Glass does what he does best and makes a good save.
     
    12:30
