    Medvescak have beaten Slovan in a tight and exciting contest 3-2! This game had just about everything and Medvescak will be very pleased with the three points which ensure that they finish in 6th position of the Western Conference and will therefore faceoff with Lev Prague in the first round of the playoffs. Marko Dano opened up the scoring today for Slovan but the visitors answered with second period goals from Mike Glumac and Kurtis Foster before Milan Bartovic made it a tied game, but early on in the third stanza Matt Murley won the game for the Croats. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you soon for more thrilling action from the KHL! (21:25:53)
