    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    They respond quickly and it's a classy play by the offense! Jonathan Cheechoo receives the puck behind the goal to the left, skates to the circle and sends a visionary pass to the right post where MATT MURLEY finds himself in a perfect spot to take a one-timer and restore the lead.

    Assist: Jonathan Cheechoo, Bill Thomas
     
    45:14
    Goal for Amur!
    Amur level the score through JAKUB PETRUZALEK who took a shot on Brust after Evgeny Korotkov left the puck for him from the slot, everyone thought he still had possession and the shot from the left wing midway between the circle and the blue line came as a surprise.

    Assists: Evgeny Korotkov, Jan Mursak
     
    41:45
    Timofei Shishkanov was waiting for a feed in front of the net as the puck circled around, and then Mark Katic (MED) and Artyom Kryukov (AMU) got into a brawl before the net, so they'll both get called.
     
    40:51
    Jan Mursak makes a fine play deking two defensemen out and takes a shot on net, but Barry Brust looks unbeatable today.
     
    39:54
    Medvescak will get their first penalty as Sasa Martinovic (MED) is pulled out for holding. They will most likely take it to the third period.
     
    36:16
    Goal for Medvescak! MATT MURLEY opens the scoring tonight as he first fires against Murygin but gets deflected off the defense. On his second attempt he picks up the deflected puck and fires past everyone in path, beats the goalie and gets Medvescak up front.

    Unassisted.
     
    35:27
    A great feed to the middle before the slot for Medvescak but the oncoming skater's one-timer hits Murygin who is happy to make the save.
     
    30:00
    Barry Brust makes a crucial save not to allow Jan Mursak who burst out on the breakaway all alone, but Brust throws himself at the puck and deflects it off the stick. Huge save to keep the game scoreless.

    07:24
    A huge mistake by Amur defense, Matt Murley intercepts the pass in the slot and is all alone with Murygin, but can't deke him to the right side and we're still scoreless. His team mates will have to say one big "Thanks!".
