Wednesday 15.01.2014, 19:00 • Tipsport Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    Lev scored on their first two power plays of the game, then scored a late goal one second after a power play ended, and they win 4-1 to stay in 3rd place in the Western Conference, atop a group of five teams within 8 points of each other. Admiral had a chance to jump into the top 8 in the East with a win, but fall to even their record at 1-1 on this western trip. (21:22:42)

    Game over.
     
    59:11
    Ivannikov covers the puck for a stoppage in the Admiral zone. Lev fans standing and cheering now with victory at hand.
     
    57:30
    Offside Admiral on the pass, faceoff at centre ice.
     
    56:40
    Goal for Lev!
    It was one second after the penalty expired so it's not technically a power play goal, but nontheless Lev takes a 3-goal lead. It started with a shot from Martin Sevc that was deflected on goal, and following a scramble JUSTIN AZEVEDO put it in at the side. Assist: David Ullstrom.
     
    55:28
    Maenpaa from the point, deflected wide in front.
     
    54:39
    We've got an Admiral penalty and then after the whistle Justin Hodgman and Michal Repik exchange shots. Hodgman gets the original penalty for cross-checking and both of them get roughing penalties. Lev to the power play, they're 2/3.
     
    54:24
    Mikhail Naumenkov with a high wrister from the point that Vehanen knocks down with the glove. Lev then called for icing.
     
    53:29
    Wrister from Ridderwall, right on Ivannikov.
     
    53:06
    As the penalty ends Ullstrom tries to jam it in on the short side and is mauled afterward, the players all gather but no penalties come of it. The faceoff is outside, though, because the Lev defence came in deep.
     
    52:25
    Ullstrom set up in the slot and one-times it wide, then looks skyward.
     
    51:48
    Icing Lev with 1:14 left in their power play.
     
    51:02
    Admiral's Artyom Ternavsky is called for slashing, so Lev will head to the power play, they're 2/2.

    Ivannikov made a nice save off Ridderwall on the delay.
     
    50:37
    Slapper from Martin Sevc, right on Ivannikov, who holds on.
     
    50:08
    Icing Admiral.
     
    48:30
    Admiral with their best chance just after the penalty ends, Vehanen had trouble with a shot, Zubov tried to jam it in, then the puck came to Bocharov at the top of the crease and Petri Vehanen makes his best stop of the game.
     
    47:46
    Lev ice and Admiral having trouble getting out of their own end, finally called for icing. Faceoff back in their own zone with :25 left in the power play.
     
    46:54
    Vorobyov tries to find Bocharov at the far post, deflects it just wide of the post with Vehanen slow to get across.
     
    46:11
    Nathan Oystrick is called for interference and goes to the box, just as Felix Schutz comes out of the other door. Admiral to the power play, they're 0/1.
     
    45:54
    Ullstrom with the shot, deflected by Azevedo right on Ivannikov, who holds on.
