    Atlant doesn't get anything going on the late power play, and Petri Vehanen hangs on to record his 3rd shutout of the season. This one was relatively easy for him, though he did face a bit more action in the 3rd period -- 16 saves over all. At the other end it was a different story, as Lev peppered Stanislav Galimov with 44 shots, scoring on 4 of them. (18:45:25)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    58:16
    Jiri Sekac clears the puck out of his own zone and over the glass, so he's being penalised for delaying the game. Lev will be down to 4 men for the rest of regulation time, it seems. Atlant to the power play.
     
    57:30
    Goal for Lev!
    Just after getting robbed by Galimov, this line has an answer. Again Klepis feeds JUSTIN AZEVEDO, but this time the Canadian centre goes upstairs under the crossbar. Assists: Jakub Klepis, Mikko Maenpaa.
     
    57:18
    Klepis from behind the net finds Azevedo, his quick shot hits Galimov, who holds on again. He's up to 40 saves now.
     
    56:56
    Scramble down low in front of Galimov and the puck goes in but the whistle had already gone. Not much of an argument from Lev, and it was difficult to see how it actually went in. Atlant is now back at full strength.
     
    56:16
    Topi Jaakola's shot from the point gets away from him and sails over the glass untouched. Faceoff outside with :35 left in the power play.
     
    54:51
    Viktor Artyukhin is getting his second penalty of the game, this one for goaltender interference, and it probably dashes any comeback hopes Atlant might have for this game. It was an undisciplined one too, as he took out Vehanen after the latter had just made a save off him and cleared the puck. It also ends a stretch of over 5 minutes without a whistle.
     
    52:20
    Lukas Cingel hits the goalpost. Second time Lev has hit iron this game, and this time Cingel rushed his shot as Galimov was at the other side of the net.
     
    51:30
    Long shot from Jaakola, Galimov juggles it but eventually it's cleared. Long stretch of play here without a whistle.
     
    51:00
    Lev dumps it in, as they seem content to run time off the clock and let Atlant chase it.
     
    50:00
    Repik with the shot from the top of the slot, save Galimov and Birner puts the rebound wide, then Atlant clears the zone.
     
    49:16
    Back comes Lev, Pacovsky with the backhander that hits Galimov in the chest, and he freezes it.
     
    48:16
    Scramble in the Lev crease, several players whack away at the puck but finally Vehanen covers it. Best chance for Atlant this game.
     
    47:53
    and Atlant back on the counter-attack, Kadeikin shoots from the wing but Vehanen catches and holds. Some good end-to-end action that sequence.
     
    47:32
    Lev top line rushes up ice, Klepis for Novotny, who one-times it just wide.
     
    47:06
    Janne Niskala with the blast from the point, hits Vehanen in the chest and then the Lev netminder covers the rebound. This is the best sustained pressure from Atlant this game.
     
    45:35
    More action in the Lev zone, Artyukhin and Jaakola battling for position in front of the net, finally the puck goes out of play.
     
    44:38
    Play in the Lev zone and Kablukov circles the net, his shot into traffic is eventually covered, though I'm not sure if Vehanen stopped it or it was blocked on the way.
     
    42:10
    Lev's 4th line with possession in the Atlant zone again, a couple of shots and finally Galimov covers it again.
