    Obukhov got his helmet stripped but for some reason he himself is sent to the penalty box, and it's a 4 on 4 hockey game

    30:51

    28:32
    Big save by Emil Garipov! Dustin Boyd skates clear, has only the goalkeeper to beat but Garipov stands tall and the puck hits his pads!
     
    24:24
    Alexander Svitov and Zack Hamill have both got roughing penalties, and Panin has been given an extra one, so Barys are on the powerplay
     
    24:24
    Rudenko! Skates through the opposing defence, tries to put the puck through Garipov but he manages to catch it!
     
    23:41
    Great combination play by Ak Bars, Kirill Petrov has the shot in clear space but hits the post instead of the net!
     
    13:41
    Kirill Petrov and Alexey Tereschenko both try to stab the puck in the net on a rebound, but Ahonen lays on the ice and just prevents a goal!
     
    12:57
    Ak Bars have certainly grabbed the initiative, Polischuk for tripping has given them a powerplay just after scoring
     
    12:31
    Goal for Ak Bars! TIM STAPLETON spins around the net, goes for the far post and makes it, 1-1! Ari Ahonen wasn't expecting that! Assists- Grigoriy Panin
     
    02:53
    Goal for Barys! Garipov with his blocker sends the puck in the air, it then rolls around the crease and MIKHAIL RAKHMANOV is first to it and scores in the empty net, 1-0! Assists- Fedor Polischuk
     
    01:43
    Petruzalek! Good chance for Ak Bars's new signing, but from just outside the crease he can only fire into the goalkeeper
