    That was the last game for each of these teams before the Olympic break. There is one more day of KHL action tomorrow, and don't forget that Eurolivescores will cover the men's and women's Olympic ice hockey tournaments. (18:39:44)
     
    Lev improves to 9-1 in the shootout, and take 4 of 12 points on this pre-Olympic road trip, which included some of the league's better teams. Vityaz not among them, but they got a strong goaltending performance in relief by Igor Saprykin, who stopped all 27 shots he faced in 45 minutes of hockey.
     
    Game over.
     
    Lev Praha has won in a shootout. The winning goal is credited to JUSTIN AZEVEDO.
     
    Korolev must score ... but Vehanen makes another glove save and this game is over!
     
    Beautiful move by Justin Azevedo, waiting for Saprykin to make a move then sliding it under him, 1-0 Lev after 2.
     
    Alexander Kololyuk is next, glove save Vehanen, still scoreless.
     
    Martin Thornberg leads for Lev, tries to go five-hole but Saprykin closes it.
     
    Vasiliev shoots first for Vityaz, stopped by Vehanen.
     
    Start of shootout.
     
    Shots were 2-1 Vityaz in overtime from that power play, 39-18 Lev through 65 minutes of hockey, but this will be decided in a shootout.
     
    65:00
    Overtime finished.

    Lev at full strength, Sevc feeds Thornberg, he shoots but it hits a stick and goes to the corner.
     
    62:41
    A shot from Mezei is deflected out of play. Faceoff in the Lev zone with just :07 left in the penalty.
     
    62:00
    Now a shot by Rozin hits Vehanen and he holds on with :48 left in the penalty.
     
    61:20

    60:48

    60:48
    Justin Azevedo catches an airbourne puck and apparenlty holds it for too long because he's getting a penalty for closing his hand on the puck. Vityaz to the power play, 4-on-3.
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    Each team now has a point in the bank and will play for another, 4-on-4. If nobody scores in 5 minutes, a shootout.

    Lev outshot Vityaz 15-1 in the 3rd period, 38-16 in regulation time.
