    55:32
    And now a five-on-three is coming up again, Antropov called again.
     
    54:33
    Metallurg will have another powerplay as Upper receives two minutes.
     
    53:34
    Goal for Barys!

    It looks like the drama will be avoided. Barys converts their first powerplay of the day and regain a two-goal lead. Great PP formation with passes all round ends up with ROMAN STARCHENKO putting the puck into the back of the wide-open net.

    Assisted by Alexei Litvinenko and Nikolai Antropov.
     
    51:48
    And now the first powerplay for Barys as Galimov goes to the penalty box for diving.
     
    50:24
    Goal for Novokuznetsk!

    And they do exactly that! The lead is cut to a single goal as Metallurg converted a man-advantage into a goal. KURTIS McLEAN fired one through a maze of bodies and it somehow found its way through and into the back of the net for his second of the night.

    Assisted by Pavel Kanarsky.
     
    48:27
    Polischuk gets two minutes for tripping, a chance for Novokuznetsk to get back within one.
     
    47:28
    Goal for Novokuznetsk!

    A little twist to the story or a start of a big comeback? We'll see, but Novokuznetsk cuts the lead to two. A hard shot by KURTIS McLEAN found its way past Ahonen.

    Assisted by Evgeni Lapenkov.
     
    47:04
    Goal for Barys!

    And now it looks like the deal is sealed. It's pretty early in the third, but Barys has just expanded its lead to three goals. Litvinenko left the puck for BRANDON BOCHENSKI to fire it and the forward one-timed a blast past Sorokin.

    Assisted by Alexei Litvinenko and Mikhail Rakhmanov.
     
    38:49
    Fourth powerplay coming up for Novokuznetsk, Litvinenko gets a minor penalty for hooking.
     
    31:36
    Goal for Barys!

    Barys responds in the best possible way! Just minutes after Metallurg got the score tight, the home team got the visitors under a huge pressure that is after all capped off by a goal. NIKOLAI ANTROPOV made no mistake on his bad-angle shot and renews his team's two-goal lead.

    Assisted by Alexei Litvinenko and Konstantin Rudenko.
     
    29:01
    Goal for Novokuznetsk!

    Powerplay goal for Metallurg and so the lead is cut in half! A shot from the blue line by Kanarsky found the stick of EVGENI LAPENKOV in front and so it changed course of its flight to avoid Ahonen and end up in the back of the net.

    Assisted by Pavel Kanarsky.
     
    27:17
    Now another tripping call against Barys and it's Litvinenko who will get the two minutes. A five-on-three coming up for Metallurg.
     
    25:28
    Blokhin gets two minutes for tripping, another powerplay coming up for Novokuznetsk.
     
    25:01
    Goal for Barys!

    Barys doubles up the lead five minutes into the second! Just after Boyd's great chance, Starchenko sent a cross-ice pass to Rudenko whose one-timer got stopped by Sorokin, but NIKOLAI ANTROPOV shoved home the rebound to give his team a two-goal advantage.

    Assisted by Konstantin Rudenko and Roman Starchenko.
     
    21:37
    Nik Antropov gets called for tripping and that's the first penalty of the night. Powerplay coming up for Novokuznetsk.
     
    04:12
    Goal for Barys!

    The home team opens the scoring, just four minutes into the game! Bochenski made a great pass to spring DUSTIN BOYD who got past a couple of defensemen, to the front of the net and then made a deke to beat Sorokin.

    Assisted by Brandon Bochenski.
