    Thank you for following the game with us! Have a nice evening! (16:21:18)
     
    For Lev Prague it was their 8th win in their last 9 matches and they beat all four opponents during their road trip to end the November schedule!

    The next time Lev Prague revceive SKA St. Petersburg at home on Monday, 2 December 2013 – 19.00 CET.
     
    Barys Astana more or less dominated the complete third period but either their lack of efficiency or Lev goalie Atte Engren and a huge portion of luck for the Czechs prevented them from gaining points today!

    When Roman Starchenko scored the equalizer after several minutes of high pressure it looked like a game changer but just 38 (!) seconds later Jiri Sekac had score the game winning goal for the Lions!

    Shots on goal: Barys 9 (21) – Lev 4 (23)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:56
    The hosts try it with half a dozen shots from any possible angle but can't beat Atte Engren another time.
     
    59:02
    Timeout taken by Barys!
     
    58:48
    Barys goalie Ari Ahonen left his net for an additional attacker – it's all or nothing for the home side now!
     
    58:13
    Barys defender Mike Lundin is stopped by two opponents behind the Lev net but still team mate Talgat Zhailauov gets the big wrap-around opportunity – which is stopped by Atte Engren!
     
    57:23
    Engren in the Lev net is able to catch a shot from very short distance and defends the small lead for his side!
     
    57:10
    The guests are back at full strength after a surprisingly harmless Barys power play.
     
    55:57
    Several long clearances keep the puck far away from the guest net.
     
    55:10
    Jiri Sekac (Lev) gets two minutes for holding the stick. This Barys power play comes in a very crucial time and in the worst possible moment for the guests!
     
    54:54
    A shot by Talgat Zhailauov from the left circle goes wide past the right bottom corner... !
     
    54:06
    Dustin Boyd has a huge double chance for Barys Astana but first a shot from the right circle was blocked by Engren and then he wasn't able to use the rebound and fired the puck wide from a sharp angle with the net half open!
     
    53:18
    It looks like the guests would return to their tactics of waiting for counters.
     
    52:03
    On the other side of the ice Lev's Martin Sevc wasn't able to make it past Konstantin Romanov during a counter attack via the left wing.
     
    51:28
    After a long pass Nigel Dawes had the puck behind the Lev net but the only defender around him – Jakub Nakladal – blocked him out of the way to conquer the puck!
     
    50:27
    A very long pass by the guests finds Jakub Klepis at the Barys blue line but he can't stop the puck – icing.
     
    49:34
    Martin Thörnberg's shot from within the slot misses the net and the puck goes wide past the left post.
     
    49:00
    After the two goals the game is very open and both teams concentrate on their offense again.
