The Omsk-Arena rises to it's feet and it is nothing less than the home side deserve. ANTON KURYANOV tries the shortside once again, and this time he raises the puck high over the shoulder of Vehanen.
Captain Kulyash brings Avangard back in the game. The puck is worked well from the right half boards to centre, and DENIS KULYASH winds up and hammers a slapshot which Vehanen has no chance of catching.
Straight off the draw, Lev find the net again. Azevedo wins the faceoff, works it back to TOPI JAAKOLA at the point. The Finnish forward picks the puck out from his feet and wires it past Garon glove side
They couldn't capitalise on the five minute powerplay, but Lev get the first goal of the game. PATRIK ZACKRISSON looks to have got the tip on the puck out in front of Garon, and it's 1-0 Lev.
