    That's the final buzzer, and it's a 3-2 victory for Metallurg Novokuznetsk! They had to come from behind after Vladimir Mihalik had put Slovan ahead, but goals from Ansel Galimov, Vadim Mityarkov and Alexey Kosourov ensured that it was Metallurg's day despite Mihel Milik's third period goal. Thanks for following our KHL coverage today, and see you tomorrow for plenty more action! (19:27:44)

    53:27

    52:55
    Goal for Slovan! A quick counterattack is finished off by MIHEL MIKLIK who after Kukumberg drove to the slot snipes home, it's game on at 3-2! Assists- Tomas Mojzis and Roman Kukumberg
     
    52:05
    Igor Velichkin has space on the right flank and holds the puck up before shooting right into the legs of the defender in front of him
