    The game is over, Avangard take another three points with a fantastic second period. We called for entertainment, it's what we got! A great game, if Neftekhimik had more luck it could have gone to overtime. It's a pity it had to end.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:37
    Belov dumps the puck in and Neftekhimik can keep possession. Sudnitsin still in net.
     
    58:48
    No one understands how Maxim Kazakov didn't score now coming from the left post dekes Sudnitsin out to the right and taking the turn fires lifting the puck up, but the goalie makes a fantastic save putting the glove up high.
     
    58:08
    Neftekhimik claim they scored a goal, the referees are not sure whether the puck crossed the line on Koukal's shot from the slot, Matt Garon somehow got his touch on it and kept it away, so there is only a faceoff in the zone.
     
    58:00
    The final two minutes of the third period.
     
    57:56
    Blatak receives a hit to the face and goes to the bench, Matt Garon makes another save, and no penalty. We continue 5-on-5 entering the final two minutes.
     
    57:35
    Avangard are back at full strength.
     
    56:47
    Neftekhimik, despite having a man advantage, can't get organized in the zone as they get cleared again. They commit too many passing mistakes.
     
    56:13
    Time works for Avangard as they clear the danger again.
     
    55:35
    Stanislav Yegorshev (AVG) gets the gate for cross-checking. Neftekhimik will take their last chance to get back. It could prove to be the last one.
     
    55:18
    Again Avangard have to defend desperately clearing the puck away. Neftekhimik put more pressure on theim in their zone.
     
    54:48
    Berezin takes a shot off the faceoff from the left, but it gets blocked and bounces aside to the boards.
     
    54:46
    Timeout taken by Avangard.
     
    54:46
    Icing Avangard. Neftekhimik is getting closer and closer to score the third goal but they just aren't lucky enough.
     
    53:57
    Milovzorov tries to keep the puck inside the zone, but it slips across the blueline and goes out so Neftekhimik restart.
     
    53:07
    Nothing significant going on as it seems Avangard are trying to neutralize Neftekhimik's pressure and close the game.
