    Lokomotiv snaps a win easier than expected, but Kolesnik was brilliant in net today stopping merely all shots coming from the opposite side. Lokomotiv acquires 3 new points that are likely to help them in their playoff quest lifting them to spot #9 in the standings as they leap over Atlant who lost at home vs. SKA 1-2. Severstal remain 12th.

    Game over.
     
    59:49
    Severstal is back at full strength as this game brings to the close.
     
    58:56
    Another big pad save by Stepanek as he gets to deflect the puck to the left coming from the slot after a fine feed from the left. Severstal lack concentration in covering the play lately.
     
    58:29
    A pass from the right side to the far post fids Sergei Konkov onskating, but he couldn't put the one timer in net as Jakub Stepanek somehow got the save putting his glove up high retrieving to the side.
     
    58:00
    Two minutes left in the third period.
     
    57:49
    Niclas Andersen (SEV) who was covering Petrov on the previous play, tripped him and got called to the box for it.
     
    57:32
    Yury Petrov keeps possession behind Severstal's net despite having a man on the back and after a couple of passes back and forth on the left side, they get a shot, but it's caught by Stepanek.
     
    56:03
    Lokomotiv hit the post right after the faceoff, and the puck bounces out to the left.
     
    55:57
    Lokomotiv still goes down the ice, but this time the shot is blocked into the netting and we'll have a faceoff deep in the zone.

    55:38
    Icing Lokomotiv.
     
    54:32
    A defensive miscommunication in the Severtal's zone, but Lokomotiv didn't take advantage of it as they regroup quickly but still face Lokomotiv's possession.
     
    53:38
    Vadim Berdnikov receives a short pass on the right side outside the circle and sends a puck to the middle, but doesn't find no one so it goes out of the zone.
     
    53:12
    Severstal get some courage now and get rid of the pressure as Pakhrudin Gimbatov drives to the net and gets a shot. Easy save for Kolesnik.
     
    52:16
    Goal for Severstal!
    Finally Severstal gets to score in this game. Team captain VLADIMIR ANTIPOV scores after collecting a rebound on the left post and taking the puck around the net before Kolesnik could cover the gap and takes a shot, possibly hitting someone on the way.

    Unassisted.
     
    51:56
    Severstal back at full strength.
