    Thank you for following the game with us! (17:17:30)
     
    SKA are back on top of the Western Conference with these three points, one point ahead of Dynamo Moscow, while Traktor now have lost 6 of their last 7 matches!
     
    SKA St. Petersburg never gave Traktor a chance to come back into this match and also dominated the third period where they were able to add another two goals for a big 7-0 away win against last year's Gagarin Cup finalists from Chelyabinsk.

    Shots on goal: Traktor 8 (23) – SKA 10 (37)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:57
    With three seconds left to play the hosts hit the crossbar from short distance!
     
    58:37
    Yegor Dugin with a shot from the right circle fails to beat Ezhov!
     
    58:12
    Alexei Semenov (SKA) gets two minutes for hooking. He stopped Anton Glinkin unafir close to the guest net!
     
    57:06
    Goal for SKA!


    Fokin leaves in a weak shot by TONY MARTENSSON from the right circle that looked more than stoppable! The home fans are getting angry with their team and are booing at them for the first time today really loud.

    Assisted by Patrick Thoresen.
     
    56:03
    On the other side of the ice Andrei Kostitsyn receives a hard check but again no call. The referees have a very moderate style this afternoon.
     
    54:23
    After a huge collision with Yegor Dugin guest forward Vadim Shipachyov leaves the ice clearly injured. He received a hard check to the head inside the Traktor third but no penalty is given.
     
    53:00
    The action on the ice and the atmosphere are rather as during a training match right now.
     
    49:58
    Kovalchuk tries to force his way through the Traktor defense but he is stopped by two opponents at the same time.
     
    47:44
    Icing against SKA.
     
    46:30
    The only real question left in this match is if Traktor cna score the consolation goal or if SKA even make it a higher defeat.
     
    44:04
    Goal for SKA!


    The drama continues! SKA make it half a dozen! Andrei Sigaryov deked out the complete Traktor defense and beat Fokin from short distance while being on his knees already!

    Assisted by Igor Makarov.
     
    43:19
    Konstantin Panov lost his stick deep inside the SKA third and it looks broken but no call in this situation.
     
    41:21
    The guests are back at full strength and keep their penalty killing at 100%.
     
    41:08
    Nice individual effort by Kuznetsov to the end of the Traktor power play – Kucheryavenko still sits in the penalty box for his penalty late in the middle period – but just before he was in a good scoring position the angle became too sharp and he had to break up the attack.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Traktor invested more in the middle period but SKA were ice cold and scored another three goals for a more than comfortable 5-0 lead that leaves the match more or less already decided after 40 minutes.

    Shots on goal: Traktor 11 (15) – SKA 9 (27)
