    Final word -
    Severstal was slightly better team in first period but their play faded later. They didn't look as the team who fights for possible playoff spot. Home team who sits on the bottom of Western Conference had nice audience,of 8,100, but only filled their Arena to some 60%. Crowd got loud in final period when home team equalized and pressed hard to win in regular time. They failed, but they continued with good play in overtime period. They failed to win the game on penalty-shot in OT period, but eventually deservedly took extra point at SO.
