    That's the final buzzer, and SKA Saint Petersburg have eased to a 4-0 victory against Avtomobilist! The scoring was opened up right at the end of the first period when Yury Alexandrov found the net, and two quick fire goals in the second set of twenty minutes from Ilya Kablukov and Artemiy Panarin finished the game. Avtomobilist had their chances but they are left to rue their profligacy as Ilya Ezhov picks up a shutout for himself, and just two minutes before the end Patrick Thoresen put the icing on the cake for SKA. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you soon for more exciting KHL hockey action! (16:20:29)

    59:08
    SKA have looked very strong in the attack today and they have taken advantage of all Avtomobilist's mistakes
     
    57:49
    Goal for SKA! The puck is played around the zone well and PATRICK THORESEN finds room for a strong wrister that sails high into Lobanov's near post, powerplay goal and it's 4-0! Assists- Kevin Dallman and Roman Cervenka
     
    57:03
    Kalinin! The defenceman unleashes a fearsome slapshot and it cannons off Lobanov's blocker and out of play!
     
    56:28
    Anton Lazarev has picked up a 2+10 penalty for hitting Viktor Tikhonov in the head and it's a two minute powerplay for the hosts
     
    55:25
    SKA ice the puck
     
    54:39

    54:02
    Lobanov fields a low wrister from the left well to freeze for a faceoff in his end
     
    53:28
    Thoresen! He skates away two on one with Martensson, he seeks out his strike partner at the far post but his pass is cut out!
     
    52:39
    SKA haven't got an awful lot of offence going in this period as yet but they have an opportunity here, Andre Deveaux for roughing has been called
     
    51:48
    Emeleev! Holding the puck away from all opposing defenders he goes to Ezhov's glove side but once again from a great position he can't hit the net!
     
    49:36
    How didn't Avtomobilist score! Ezhov loses control of the puck behind his net, it pops out to the slot but somehow with an open net in front of him Artem Chernov completely misses the target!
     
    49:25
    As the visitors try and get something going they dump the puck in towards Ezhov who sweeps it up in his glove

    Avtomobilist couldn't create much on that powerplay and the hosts are now back to full strength
