    It was the two goals in the first five minutes of this game that chased Donbass starter Michael Leighton and really gave Lev the advantage in this game. With the win, they are now alone in 3rd place in the Western Conference, 6 points behind SKA and 3 points up on both Donbass and Dinamo Riga. (21:14:49)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:57
    The puck now goes into the Lev bench, faceoff outside again with Lev fans on their feet.
     
    59:49
    Offside Donbass.
     
    58:17
    Big collision in the corner between Sekac and Yakutsenya, and they have words with each other as they skate up ice.

    Oystrick the low slapper from the point, stick save Laco.
     
    56:47
    Oleg Piganovich with a wrister from the point, right on Vehanen, who holds on.
     
    54:10
    Puck deflected out of play in the Lev zone, faceoff inside.
     
    53:50
    Dadonov attempts a wraparound but Vehanen gives nothing and covers it.
     
    53:17
    Icing Lev.
     
    52:30
    Robitaille centres in front to Lukas Kaspar, but Petri Vehanen slides across and robs him just seconds after the penalty expires.
     
    51:37
    Now the puck is played by a Donbass high stick and they're backed up in their own zone with :43 left in the power play.
     
    51:20
    Lev ices, Donbass really struggling on the power play tonight.
     
    50:20
    Yevgeni Dadonov drives to the net, he's slashed by Mikko Maenpaa and Lev is getting another penalty.
     
    49:30
    Lev at full strength, Donbass 0/5, play in the Lev zone.
     
    49:17
    Clay Wilson with a wrister from the point for Donbass's first shot of this power play, right on Vehanen, who holds on with just :07 left in the penalty.
     
    47:23
    Now Calle Ridderwall is getting a penalty, though, for tripping. Donbass back to the power play, 0/4 today.
     
    47:15
    Now Laco makes the save and Ridderwall tries to dig for a rebound that wasn't there. Donbass took exception to that and there's a bit of pushing and shoving, but no penalties coming.
     
    47:00
    Loose puck in the neutral zone, Randy Robitaille almost got another breakaway but couldn't get the puck to settle down and Patrik Zackrisson made a nice play to knock it away from him.
     
    46:14
    Now Vehanen covers a loose puck in the Lev zone, they're back at full strength.
