Marc-Andre Gragnani works the puck near the left wing boards, then finds NIKO KAPANEN in the slot, who one-times it home. Both Lev goals have been scored by this line, along with defenceman Gragnani. Assist: Marc-Andre Gragnani.
It didn't take them long to re-store the 4-goal lead. Breaking into the Lev zone 3-on-1, Krasnoslobodtsev made a nice pass to the right wing for YEVGENI SKACHKOV, who snaps home his 2nd of the game before Vehanen can get across. Assist: Vadim Krasnoslobodtsev.
Marc-Andre Gragnani the shot from the point, I think it was tipped by Kapanen and hit Kasutin in the pad, but CALLE RIDDERWALL was right there to put in the rebound. Assists: Niko Kapanen, Marc-Andre Gragnani.
This is becoming a rout. Just after a Lev chance at one end, Torpedo's top line comes right back up the ice and a pretty passing play finishes with Wolski feeding JARKKO IMMONEN, who makes it 4-0. Assists: Wojtech Wolski (3a), Sakari Salminen.
Blazing start to this game for Torpedo, as they score their third goal. It's Wolski with the set-up again, this time for a one-timer from MIKHAIL GRIGORYEV and Vehanen is beaten for the first time. Teams will continue playing 4-on-4. Assist: Wojtech Wolski.
Turnover deep in the Lev zone, Wojtech Wolski circles the net and backhands it out front to SAKARI SALMINEN, who fires it in from point-blank to make it 2-0 just :15 later. Assist: Wojtech Wolski.
YEVGENI SKACHKOV dodges a check at the Lev blueline, skates into the faceoff circle and fires short side on Engren, who got a piece of it but it dribbled in under the arm.
