    Nothing significant going on in the waning moments of the period, Metallurg secured a huge win in the second period, and Vasily Koshechkin missed his 8th shutout of the season by two goals.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    58:14
    Unbeliveable miss by Danis Zaripov, he gets the feed from behind the goal and fires one-timed while Kopriva was still on the other post trying to get up on his feet, but Zaripov made his job easier as he fired the puck high into the netting from close range.
     
    58:00
    Two minutes left to play in the third period, and probably the game.
     
    57:11
    Miroslav Satan dumps the puck slow into the zone over the right, Hudacek can't win the race, Metallurg get possession.
     
    56:32
    Metallurg get stopped going on offense as the referee blows the whistle for offside.
     
    55:39
    Andrej Stastny tries to shoot but gets double-teamed up front, deflected to the right.
     
    54:31
    The powerplay comes to an end, Slovan go 0/1 and no single shot on goal. Metallurg were able to generate some chances down the ice.
     
    54:18
    Francis Pare again with the shot from the slot for Metallurg, they don't seem to care whether they play even strength or shorthanded.
     
    53:41
    A 2-on-1 breakaway for Metallurg, no goal, as the shot came right into Kopriva for an easy save.
     
    53:03
    Slovan building on the attack and they have two sticks broken as they fire from the right, one-timers.
     
    52:31
    A scramble by the Metallurg's as Slovan were coming towards from the left and Metallurg played some aggressive defense. Vladimir Malenkikh (MMG) gets called for roughing on the play.
     
    51:43
    Metallurg dump the puck in for Slovan to take over, but they overturn it pretty quickly at the opposite blue.
     
    50:34
    Antipin passes into the slot but there is no one to take it and Kopriva freezes the puck. A calm game so far midway through the third, besides that one goal by the visitors.
     
    49:53
    Koshechkin makes another deflection from the near, as Slovan take the puck close to the line with two men trying to fool him out and disbalance.
     
    48:09
    Rinat Ibragimov drives the puck into the zone over the right and looks for a feed into the slot, but the pass is a bit too direct into the net and Korpiva gets his stick on it.
     
    46:39
    Goal for Slovan!
    A quick break from the faceoff inside their own zone, and MICHAL VONDRKA takes advantage of the defensive mistake by Metallurg and scores one-on-one after a nice breaking pass from Miklik across the ice.

    Assist: Michel Miklik.
     
    45:45
    Metallurg still on the offense, they look like they haven't had enough, Oskar Osala misses from the slot.
