    37:14
    David Ullstrom feeds Martin Sevc sneaking in from the point, he tries to go upstairs but is robbed by Ivan Kasutin, who holds on.

    33:15
    Giveaway in the Lev zone to Nikolai Zherdev and he just fires wide with traffic in front of Vehanen. Action really frantic right now.

    Now Ryan O'Byrne fires it off the goalpost. Lev applying all sorts of pressure.
     
    30:30
    Severstal back at full strength but Lev almost score. First Vrana tries to stuff it in the short side, then back to the point for Jaakola and Kasutin makes a big save.
     
    29:40
    Shorthanded rush for Severstal, Yevgeni Stolyarov fires it off the crossbar.
     
    28:18
    Lev now 0/2 on the power play but they're getting another opportunity as Nikolai Kazakovtsev is heading off for tripping.
     
    27:30
    Klepis across to Michal Repik for the one timer, beats Kastutin but it just misses the far post from the sharp angle, and rings around the boards and down into the Lev zone.
     
    25:57
    It's Nikolai Statsenko going off for slashing, so Lev to the power play for the second time. Nikolai Zherdev is going to serve the penalty, as Statsenko seems to be hurt.

    Now Lev is going to the power play for the first time. Pakhrudin Gimbatov, who was in the box earlier, is going off for hooking in his own zone.
     
    09:06
    Slapper from Alexander Yevseyenko is blocked in front of the Lev net and Vehanen dives on it, then we get some pushing and shoving after the whistle between Pakhrudin Gimbatov and Ondrej Nemec. Both players are going off and Nemec is getting the extra minor, so Severstal to the power play.
