    56:41
    Goal for Amur!
    Artyom Dubinin over the right and feeds diagonally to the left for DMITRY LUGIN who gets into the zone and as he gets to the circle fires a hard wrister precise high glove side and beats Ahonen.

    Assist: Artyom Dubinin.
     
    55:40

    51:13
    If Ahonen doesn't, the pipes will. This is the second bar Amur have hit today coming off the left win and towards the goal, but no luck for them today.
     
    47:54
    Barys miss a 3-on-2 with the forward from deep left skating in towards the left pipe and missing a backhander from the slot a little too high and wide to the right.
     
    46:44
    Goal for Barys!
    But now they score! We got some baseball caps down on the ice signaling NIGEL DAWES just scored a hattrick. Brandon Bochenski gets the diagonal pass from the right and finds Dawes skating in on the left beating Jarvinen with a single touch.

    Assist: Brandon Bochenski, Cam Barker.
     
    43:23
    Mika Jarvinen saves the day, if there's anything to be saved anymore as Barys break from the defensive zone and Bochenski gets the puck on the left for Nigel Dawes who sneaks through but can't beat Jarvinen from the slot.
     
    40:43
    Goal for Barys!
    Less than a minute into the period, MIKE LUNDIN gets the backward pass from Bochenski inside the right circle near the slot and fires precisely to break through Jarvinen for another powerplay tally.

    Assist: Brandon Bochenski.
     
    40:00
    Jakub Petruzalek (AMU) got called at the end of the second period for tripping.
     
    35:06
    Goal for Barys!
    Another powerplay goal, Jarvinen now concedes twice. EVGENY BLOKHIN scores a one-timer from the left on a passout just as they were exiting the wrap around.

    Assists: Konstantin Rudenko, Dmitry Upper.
     
    33:54
    Vladimir Loginov (AMU) called for tripping on the sideboards on the left as Barys were still down the ice shorthanded. Great offensive display.
     
    33:05
    Goal for Barys!
    A shorthander to prove Barys are way over Amur today! After a mistake on the defence BRANDON BOCHENSKI breaks over the left and they go on 2-on-1, Bochenski makes the line pass from the circle, and gets the answer back, while he's already skated past the line, but gets the stick back and slides it in.

    Assists: Dustin Boyd, Konstantin Romanov.
     
    32:05
    Talgat Zhailauov (BAR) gets back at Mikhail Klimchuk who hammered him into the boards, but Zhailauov went too far and hit Klimchuk with his elbow deliberately, so will draw 2+10 misconduct.
     
    29:14
    Dmitry Bykov (AMU) gets called to the box as well for interfence.

    23:59
    Goal for Barys!
    Another powerplay tally by Barys to build a huge lead! NIGEL DAWES with the puck on the blue, drives to the left circle and plays a back-and-forth pass with Dustin Boyd and then beats Murygin with a one-timer.

    23:01
    Tripping call on Artyom Sedunov (AMU) as he tripped the Barys forward trying to sneak into the zone over the left wing.
     
    21:33
    Goal for Barys!
    And they acknowledge it! DMITRY UPPER is assigned the score as he was the last player to touch the puck before it went in on Talgat Zhailauov's fine solo effort.

    Assist: Talgat Zhailauov.
     
    Barys score the goal as Zhailauov drives it in on the left and beats Murygin, but the refs will take another look at it.
     
    21:11
    Konstantin Rudenko misses the wide open net as he was a bit late on the skate in on the left post.
     
    19:59
    Goal for Amur!
    With the sound of the siren ANDREI STEPANOV fires more of desperation than a chance but manages to find the way through and take advantage of the powerplay. The shot came from the left just as he skated across the blue.

    Assists: Vladimir Loginov, Timofei Shishkanov.
     
    19:18

    15:39
    Goal for Barys!
    Barys' strongest line proves just that as NIGEL DAWES strikes another powerplay tally taking Barys 2 for 2 on the powerplay. Dawes picked up the rebound off Murygin's left pad and slides the puck into the empty net from the inner edge of the right circle.

    Assists: Cam Barker, Brandon Bochenski.
