    57:23
    We had a real battle for the puck there and we've got a couple penalties out of it -- Dominik Pacovsky of Lev for high-sticking and Dylan Reese of Amur for holding. We'll play 4-on-4.
     
    54:11
    Lev 2 on 1 rush, which becomes a 3 on 2, Gragnani drops to Novotny, but his shot is deflected out of play. Lev now with the 4-on-3 power play for the next :12.
     
    53:35
    A parade to the box suddenly, as Ondrej Nemec is called for tripping trying to thwart an Amur shorthanded chance. We'll play 3-on-3 for :35 -- lots of skating room out there.
     
    52:53
    And 30 seconds later another Amur penalty, Denis Yezhov for tripping, so Lev with the 4-on-3 power play.
     
    52:23
    It didn't last long as Vrana tries to cut in on goal shorthanded and Dmirti Bykov chops him down and is called for slashing, ending his team's power play.
     
    52:10
    Jakub Matai gets called for checking to the head, so it's a minor and a 10-minute misconduct. Amur to the power play.
     
    51:12
    Goal for Lev!
    Lev power play connects for the 5th time in its last 8 chances. They were all over Jarvinen, attacking the crease, and finally PETR VRANA got it up over the goalie and off the back crossbar. Power-play goal. Assist: Martin Thornberg, Patrik Zackrisson.
     
    49:54
    Lev go back to the attack but thwarted by Dmitri Bykov, who is being called for hooking. Lev to the power play, 0/1 today.
     
    49:14
    Goal for Lev!
    First O'Byrne had the shot, save Jarvinen, JIRI NOTOVTNY got the puck back behind the net, out front to Ullstrom for a shot, another save, but Novotny put in the rebound. Asssist: David Ullstrom.
     
    47:40
    Back and forth action, first a scramble in front of Engren but Lugin falls in the slot, then Lev race back, Nemec shoots, scramble in front of Jarvinen, cleared.
     
    44:48
    Repik the shot, save Jarvinen, Repik gets it back and passes to Ridderwall for a one-timer, great save Jarvinen.
     
    37:15
    Chance for Amur, Alex Loginov with a couple of chances, Engren keeps both out in a scramble.
     
    35:49
    Another Lev rush, slapper from Matai, pad save Jarvinen and then Pacovsky with the rebound and yet another save by Jarvinen. No goal there but these two youngsters have been all over the place tonight.
     
    31:50
    Scramble in the Amur slot, Repik with the high backhander, Jarvinen gets an arm or shoulder on it and knocks it over the crossbar.
     
    28:05
    Amur with a drive, Dylan Reese from the point, Engren makes the save and then the rebound is put off the goalpost in front.
     
    26:36
    Goal for Lev!
    They get several shots on Jarvinen and finally it goes in. First Maenpaa, then Azevedo, and finally PETR TATICEK puts it in with Jarvinen down and out. Assists: Justin Azevedo, Mikko Maenpaa.
     
    21:22
    But the Lev power play is over after :35. Martin Thornberg is called for holding, so we'll play 4-on-4.
     
    20:47
    Alexander Loginov is being called for putting a hook on Jiri Novotny.

    Interestingly, Novotny was talking to the ref before the second period faceoff and seemed to be complaining about the hooking of Amur, judging from his gestures, so perhaps that's what earned him the call here. In any event, Lev gets the first power play of the game.
     
    11:17
    We've got penalties on the play, Jakub Matai of Lev for intererence and Sergei Taryaev of Amur for slashing, so we'll play 4-on-4 hockey.
     
    03:50
    Lev rush, Zackrisson lures Jarvinen out to challenge and tries to find Taticek racing to the far post for the tap-in but the pass just fails to connect.
