    59:53
    Goal for Metallurg! Just before the match is over they make it seven! TUUKKA MANTYLA receives the puck at the far post unmarked and he compounds Amur's misery, shorthanded goal and it's 7-2! Assists- Damir Zhafyarov
     
    59:25
    Galimov! Shorthanded he chases after the loose puck but loses control of it when one on one!
     
    58:46
    Metallurg pick up a late penalty against their name, for holding Yemelin has been handed a two minute minor
     
    52:35
    Lozhkin! He is having a very strong game! Again from almost point blank range he denies the hosts with a brilliant save!
     
    52:09
    Alexander Kurepanov for high sticking has received a four minute penalty and Amur have a powerplay opportunity to give their fans something to cheer about
     
    50:47
    Lozhkin! He somehow denies Amur up close when he was already sprawling around his own crease! And now the hosts are back to full strength
     
    48:47
    Just eleven seconds after conceding their sixth Amur are going on the penalty kill, Vladimir Loginov for holding has been sent to the penalty box
     
    48:36
    Goal for Metallurg! And what a goal! Artem Gareev with a stunning backhand pass from behind the goal leaves SERGEY YEMELIN with an empty net to fire into which he does with ease, it's 6-2! Assists- Artem Gareev
     
    41:46
    Goal for Metallurg! Just like in the second period Metallurg shut down Amur just as they get back into the game! DAMIR ZHAFYAROV shows fantastic stick handling skills as he dinks around his defenders and backhands the puck high into the net, it's 5-2!
     
    40:50
    Goal for Amur! They've come out all guns blazing in this period and they have their reward! Alexander Yunkov twists around Lozhkin's net, finds DMITRIY LUGIN unmarked at the far post and he makes the score 4-2! Assists- Alexander Yunkov
     
    38:49
    Lapenkov! He shows brilliant skill to beat almost the entire home defence, but he can't beat Murygin one on one!
     
    34:20
    Amur are really now starting to fall apart and they've picked up another penalty, Artem Sedunov for holding his opponent has been called
     
    33:40
    Goal for Metallurg! A pass into the crease is picked up by SEMYON VALUISKY and he makes no mistake giving Murygin no chance, it's already now 4-1! Assists- Raymond Giroux and Evgeniy Lapenkov
     
    32:57
    Goal for Metallurg! Just as Amur regained hope Metallurg show their ruthless side! Murygin denies Skladnichenko with his right pad but he can't prevent ALEXANDER AKSYONENKO from tapping home, it's 3-1! Assists- Nikolay Skladnichenko
     
    30:08
    Goal for Amur! Mikhail Fisenko from the point fires the puck into the crease and ILYA KRIKUNOV with his stick redirects it into the net, it's game on at 2-1! Assists- Mikhail Fisenko
     
    28:46
    Lozhkin! Big save from the young goaltender! As the puck rolls into his crease a pile of bodies almost jump on him but Lozhkin still manages to somehow cover it up!
     
    27:10
    Klimchuk! He shows a sharp turn of pace as he gets free on the right, with his backhand feeds Krikunov but from point blank range Krikunov can't make clean contact!
     
    23:45
    Valuiskiy! With at times only one hand he keeps the puck away from his opponents and draws a penalty, Denis Ezhov for tripping has been penalised
     
    16:01
    Goal for Metallurg! The work the play around the zone well, send it back to the point where PAVEL KANARSKIY absolutely blasts the puck past the helpless Murygin, powerplay goal and it's 2-0! Assists- Denis Kurepanov and Anton Kapotov
     
    15:10
    Mikhail Fisenko for tripping has put Metallurg on the powerplay for the first time today
     
    14:19
    Murygin makes a solid pad save at his near post on a pacy breakaway for the hosts!
     
    13:09
    Metallurg again create real danger on the Amur crease and the hosts only just escape as Zhafyarov alone can only hit Murygin's shoulder!
     
    08:51
    Just as I say that Amur receive their second powerplay, Nikita Kamalov for tripping has been called
     
    07:23
    Goal for Metallurg! They have just been starting to put the pressure on and they take the lead! As the puck comes into the slot EVGENIY LAPENKOV manages to poke it home past the goalkeeper, it's 1-0! Assists- Semyon Valuiskiy
     
    02:49
    Katsuba! He skates free one on one with Nikita Lozhkin but Nikolay Skladnichenko was holding him back and then committed slashing, so Amur have the first powerplay of the day
