    Thank you for following the only KHL game today, but check back tomorrow for a full slate of action. (21:17:03)
     
    A goal by Ridderwall gave Lev some life in that 3rd period, but 2 late empty-net goals around a 2nd Lev goal late put this one away for Slovan Bratislava.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:42
    Play is stopped now as Lev's Martin Sevc and Slovan's Peter Olvecky bump in the corner and take whacks at each other. They're given 2 minutes each--surprisingly they're going to the box instead of the dressing rooms.
     
    59:01
    Goal for Slovan!
    The Lev net was empty again, and MICHEL MIKLIK jumped on a turnover right at the side of the net for the easy goal. Unassisted.
     
    58:48
    We've got off-setting penalties to Michal Repik and Jonathan Sigalet, who mixed it up after the goal, so we'll likely finish this game 4 on 4.
     
    58:48
    Goal for Lev!
    MICHAL BIRNER was stationed at the top of the slot and he one-timed the pass when it came to him and it beat Janus through traffic to bring Lev back within 2. Still an uphill climb, though. Assist: Michal Repik.
     
    58:24
    Goal for Slovan!
    TOMAS NETIK puts this game away as he scores his second of the game, winning a race to the puck in the neutral zone and shooting from just outside the Lev blueline. Unassisted.
     
    57:56
    A bit of overpassing there, finally Thornberg shoots and hits Janus in the shoulder.
     
    57:33
    Timeout Lev. Petri Vehanen is going to the bench for a 6th attacker.
     
    57:33
    Chance for Novotny right in front but Janus makes another big save. The Slovan crowd now on its feet, smelling victory.
     
    57:25
    Slovan back at full strength but play still in their zone.
     
    57:06
    Repik attempts a slapper but it hits a stick and goes wide.
     
    56:40
    Long shot from Danielsson deflected to the corner.
     
    55:50
    Klepis the wrister from the left wing side, hits Janus and it's iced.
     
    55:09
    Big chance for Lev now as Peter Olvecky goes off for interference. A goal here is imperative.
     
    55:05
    Martin Sevc fires a big slapper from the point, not sure if it was stopped by Janus or blocked in front.
     
    54:53
    Michal Birner with the shot and it's gloved and held by Jaroslav Janus.
     
    54:30
    Lev back at full strength and they're now going to try to go to the attack.
     
    53:30
    Lev ices for the third time, Slovan still without a shot this power play.
