    For the most part, Lev played a strong road game, but Severstal made the most of their chances in the 3rd period and scored twice to win this game 2-1. (18:25:08)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:09
    As I said, too many players on the ice against Lev. The fans aren't happy and are whistling, but either way it looks like Severstal has this game in hand as they have the faceoff in the Lev zone with Vehanen now back in and a power play for the rest of regulation time.
     
    59:09
    Strange turn of events. Thornberg whistled a shot just wide and Severstal rushed back up the ice and put the puck into the empty net. However, the whistle went before the puck went into the net because Lev had too many players on the ice. 7 players, apparently. Severstal doesn't like the call because they had the puck, so officials shouldn't have stopped play.
     
    58:56
    Lev is back at full strength and Vehanen goes to the bench on the fly for a 6th attacker.
     
    57:35
    Shot goes over the glass and into the netting, faceoff outside with 1:15 left in the Severstal power play.
     
    57:30
    Serverstal doing an effective job of maintaining possession in the Lev zone. If nothing else, they don't want to turnover the puck.
     
    56:50
    Jakub Klepis called for hooking in the corner in attacking zone, which really puts Lev in a tight spot now. He argues the call, but Severstal to the power play Severstal.
     
    55:14
    Korvyshin with a one-timer that goes just wide of the post. It was a goal if he'd got it inside the post. Then Lev ices.
     
    53:22
    Timeout Severstal. Interesting. They seem to be having a good period, but I guess the coach sees Lev coming with some pressure since that last goal.
     
    53:22
    Offside Lev.
     
    52:43
    Puck goes out of play in the Severstal zone, faceoff inside.
     
    51:32
    Martin Thornberg with a glorious chance to tie it--Sekac passed across to Thornberg, who unleashed a quick one-time wrister but Jakub Stepanek slid across to rob him. His biggest save of the game.
     
    50:22
    Goal for Severstal!
    A strange play where the initial shot hit Ondrej Nemec and the Lev defenceman fell ontop of the puck. Players dug away at it and just when it seemed the whistle might go, captain VADIM BERDNIKOV banged it in. Unassisted, power-play goal.
     
    50:05
    A race for the puck down low in the Lev zone, both players go down and Jakub Nakladal called for hooking. Severstal to the power play.
     
    49:30
    Severstal back at full strength and Lev back in their own zone to retreat.
     
    48:27
    Ridderwall tries to sneak it in the near side but Stepanek giving him no room. :20 left in the penalty . . . Lev passing a lot around the perimiter but not generating shots.
     
    47:07
    Lev going back to the power play, though the last one didn't do them much good. .Alexander Yevseyenkov is called for hooking in his own zone.
     
    46:42
    Icing Lev.
     
    45:36
    Goal for Severstal!
    They've come out strong this period and on a rush into the Lev zone Bushuyev passes across to ANATOLI NIKONTSEV, whose shot through traffic beats Vehanen to the near side. Assist: Nikolai Bushuyev.
