    It wasn't pretty, but Lev will take the 3 points on home ice. A strong road effort from Severstal, who would liked to have taken a point from this game, but it doesn't happen. (21:07:43)

    Timeout Lev.

    Coach Jalonen obviously expecting the same thing and wants to make sure his team is all on the same page as far as defensive coverage.
     
    57:30
    Now Vehanen dives on a loose puck in front of him. We can probably expect a big push from Severstal in the last two and a half minutes.
     
    56:55
    Severstal comes pushing hard for the equaliser, Stolyarov 's shot looks labelled for the top corner but Petri Vehanen gets his arm on it to knock it away.

    55:02
    Puck goes into the Severstal bench, faceoff outside their blueline.
     
    54:45
