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.
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.
IGOR MAKAROV revceived a long cross-pass at the right post and finished the job easily from short distance to score the 5-0 (!) into the right corner and Fokin is already beaten after just 52 seconds between the Traktor posts!
Assissted by Ilya Kovalchuk.
EVGENY SKACHKOV ended a nice solo during a 3-on-2 attack by himself to beat Garnett from short distance into the right top corner! The result is getting bitter for Traktor.
Assisted by Alexei Ponikarovsky.
PATRICK THORESEN waits long during his penalty shot but shortly before reaching the goalie he dekes out Garnett to the left and beats him into the left bottom corner! The guests have a comfortable 3-0 lead!
Shortly before the enf of their power play the guests double their lead! VADIM SHIPACHYOV received a cross-pass by Roman Cervenka at the right post and left Traktor goalie Garnett no chance at all from short distance!
Assisted by Roman Cervenka.
With their second man advantage the guests make it better and gain the early 1-0 lead! VIKTOR TIKHONOV received the puck behind the Traktor net, started a wrap-around and fired the puck into the right top corner from short distance! Traktor goalie Garnett looked surprised and seemed not to know where the puck was at all!
