    61:58
    Goal for Lev!
    Right off the faceoff, Patrik Zackrisson won the draw back to Topi Jaakola, whose shot was beautifully re-directed by MARTIN THORNBERG into the net for the game-winning goal. Assists: Topi Jaakola, Patrik Zackrisson.
     
    58:27
    A stretch pass tying to spring Murley on a breakaway is intercepted and Lev gets a chance the other way, hard slapper from Azevedo but Dekanich again keeps it out.
     
    58:00
    Dangerous rush from Jiri Sekac, who bowls his way through the defence, stopped by Dekanich, who's knocked back in his net but keeps the puck out.
     
    51:26
    A mid-ice collision in the Medvescak zone between Jiri Novotny and Matt Murley -- Novotny getting the gate for interference and Medvescak is headed to the power play.
     
    48:13
    Two #12s are going off, Lev's Jiri Novotny and Medvescak's Ivan Svarny. We'll be 5-on-4 for :03, when Medvescak will get back to full strength.
     
    46:16
    Now Bjorkstrand is going to the penalty box for hooking, so Lev to the power play, which hasn't done much these last two games.
     
    45:58
    Patrik Bjorkstrand shows some speed and wins a race to the puck to create a Medvescak 2 on 1, passes to Boyd Kane and he tries to make a move on Petri Vehanen but the Finnish goalie stays with him. He lost control of the puck a bit and didn't get much of a shot.
     
    41:31
    Now Matt Ellison with a head of steam almost gets in the clear but Topi Jaakola makes a great defensive play to knock the puck off his stick at the last minute, then Vehanen covers it.
     
    38:52
    Lev is getting a penalty on the play, Martin Sevc for hooking on the backcheck, so the power play is over and we'll probably finish the period 4-on-4.
     
    38:49
    Medvescak 2-on-1 shorthanded but Bill Thomas couldn't knock down the airbourne saucer pass.
     
    38:06
    The call is Andrew Murray for the slash on Azevedo, nothing for the scrum after and it looks like Lev will finish this period on the power play.
     
    38:06
    Azevedo takes the puck to the net, save Dekanich, Novotny tries to get the reound but it's covered and we have more pushing and shoving and at least one penalty coming.
     
    34:35
    Teams back at full strength but play continues in the Medvescak zone and Justin Azevedo fires a wrister off the crossbar from the slot.
     
    32:22
    The power play is over as Jonathan Cheechoo is going off for slashing. Barring further penalties we'll play 4-on-4 for :48, then Lev will go to the power play.
     
    31:10
    Matt Ellison and Jakub Nakladal get tied up along the boards and start trading shots. They both go to the box, roughing will probably be the call as the fans stand up and cheer.

    Medvescak is coming out of this with a power play, as Nakladal had the original penalty for interference.
     
    30:04
    Late in the power play, Michal Repik takes a pass crossing the blueline and fires a low wrister far side but Mark Dekanich with the toe save.
     
    28:04
    Collision at the Lev blueline as Jonathan Cheechoo catches Justin Azevedo with the leg and is called for tripping. Lev to the power play, 0/1 today.
     
    25:43
    Martin Thornberg streaks down the left wing and fires a slapper off the nearside goalpost.
     
    23:20
    Now a rocket from Niko Kapenen headed for the far side knocks the stick out of Dekanich's hand. Play continues in the zone.
     
    20:10
    Puck goes into the corner in the Medvescak zone and Kyle Klubertanz gets his stick up on Novotny. He's going off for high-sticking, and Lev goes to the power play for the first time.
     
    17:42
    We've now got a Lev penalty on the play, so the faceoff is moved down to the Lev zone. David Ullstrom is going to the box, presumably for a foul on Jessimen. The referees were talking to one of the linesmen after the whistle.
     
    14:40
    Goal for Lev!
    Mikko Maenpaa takes a pass as he streaks through the neutral zone at full stride, carries it across the line and sends a pass across to JIRI NOVOTNY heading toward the net. He fires a wrister over the glove of Dekanich to get Lev on the board. Assists: Mikko Maenpaa, Justin Azevedo.
     
    12:55
    Pass out of the corner comes to Boyd Kane in front, he's stopped by Petri Vehanen from point blank and he's checked into the goalie. Play is stopped as Vehanen is knocked down and the faceoff is going outside.
     
    11:07
    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    They kept up the pressure in the Lev zone and the puck comes back to Jessimen in the slot. Vehanen got a piece of his shot but MICHAEL RYAN was there to put in the rebound. Assist: Hugh Jessimen.
     
    06:40
    Two more big saves by Mark Dekanich! First Vrana and the Thornberg again on the rebound. He's really pumped up by the throng of his team's fans standing behind him. What a start to this game for the Medvescak goalie.
     
    06:00
    Sekac drives to the net, save Dekanich, and then lying on the ice he stops Thornberg following up on the rebound.
     
    04:18
    Dekanich makes another save, this time off Thornberg, and covers. We get some pushing and shoving after the whistle and each team is getting penalties -- Lev's Petr Vrana and Medvescak's Sasha Martinovic -- so we'll play 4 on 4.
     
    01:40
    Patrik Zackrisson drives hard to the net with the puck for Lev but Mark Dekanich stands his ground and makes another save.
