Metallurg Novokuznetsk
Tuesday 04.03.2014, 13:00 • Sibir Ice Palace • KHL
     
    Sibir have just managed to hold out for a simply thrilling 6-5 victory against Metallurg Novokuznetsk! It's not every day that you see a game filled with eleven goals but these sides decided to serve us up a real treat. Jonas Enlund for Sibir was the star of the show with a double and an assist to his name but Jori Lehtera also got a brace, and Oleg Gubin and Jarno Koskiranta also managed to get their names on the scoreboard for Sibir. Metallurg were at one point losing by five goals but efforts from Sergey Yemelin, Evgeniy Lapenkov, Tuukka Mantyla, Nikita Kamalov and Semyon Valuisky made it a nervy finish for the home fans. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me again soon for SKA Saint Petersburg against Yugra! (15:34:15)

    57:32
    A quick counterattack from Sibir puts them through two on one, but with Lozhkin slipping around the place they contrive to put the puck wide!
     
    57:10
    As the puck comes into the crease from behind the net Bespalov dives on it to freeze with Zhafyarov lurking. Metallurg are trying to force the issue with time running down
     
    55:15
    McLean skates hard into the zone beating his defender for pace, backhands the puck looking for the far post but Bespalov expertly takes it into his glove!
     
    54:52
    Dmitry Kugryshev just can't get his stick on the puck as it bounces towards him with Lozhkin out of position!
     
    54:28
    Metallurg are now back at full strength
     
    53:46
    Kutuzov! Just like Martynov he takes aim from the blue line and this time Lozhkin gets everything behind it!
     
    53:15
    Martynov! He winds up for a fearsome slapper from the point and the puck shaves the right hand post!
     
    52:28
    This game is becoming littered with penalties and this time it's against Metallurg, for high sticking Raymond Giroux has been punished
     
    51:07
    Sibir take a well needed timeout straight after that goal and they have decided to pull Koskinen for Nikita Bespalov as they look to change the momentum
     
    51:07
    Goal for Metallurg! What a game! NIKITA KAMALOV stuffs the puck under Koskinen as panic erupts in the Sibir defence and it's now only a two goal game! Powerplay goal and it's 6-4! Assists- Artem Gareev
     
    50:07
    And Lehtera himself has now been sent to the penalty box for holding, and for just under a minute it's a five on three powerplay for Metallurg
     
    49:28
    Lehtera takes control of the loose puck center ice, skates into the zone shorthanded but only finds the boards behind the net
     
    49:01
    The home side are starting to pick up needless penalties, Vyacheslav Belov now has been called for slashing
     
    48:57
    Right off the faceoff draw Metallurg push to drive to the net, but their attackers are just outnumbered
     
    48:55
    Sibir commit icing
