Tuesday 04.03.2014, 19:00 • Slovnaft Arena • KHL
     
    59:45
    A timeout has been called by the Slovan head coach with only 15 seconds remaining before the final buzzer
     
    59:45
    Slovan pull Janus for the extra skater as Brust dives on the puck as it comes into the crease!
     
    49:26
    Vondrka! Brust only just prevents the puck from crossing the line as Vondrka backhanded the puck from the left up close! The tempo is very quick at the moment
     
    46:17
    Miklik! He skates with purpose to the Medvescak net but his wrister hits Brust and goes out of play!
     
    40:13
    Goal for Medvescak! Just thirteen seconds into the third period Medvescak once again take the lead! MATT MURLEY takes control of the puck by the left hand boards, beats his defender and finds the far corner of the net with a rasping drive, it's 3-2! Assists- Jonathan Cheechoo
     
    36:06
    Goal for Slovan! We're all tied up! MILAN BARTOVIC finishes off a superb attack with a powerful drive from the right faceoff circle that goes directly through Brust and into the net, it's 2-2! Assists- Juraj Mikus and Libor Hudacek
     
    35:31
    Miklik! Michal Vondrka finds him with a brilliant pass at the far post but from point blank range he some how makes a mess of it!
     
    33:45
    Cheechoo for tripping right under the referee's nose has been penalised and Slovan have a powerplay opportunity to try and turn the tide
     
    32:37
    And for roughing in that incident Murray himself and Tomas Mojzis have both been sent to the penalty box
     
    31:26
    Goal for Medvescak! A flowing attacking move is finished off by KURTIS FOSTER who by the right hand post wrists the puck into the far corner, powerplay goal and it's 2-1! Assists- Matt Murley and Jonathan Cheechoo
     
    29:29
    The penalties keep on coming and this time it's against Andrey Stastny for tripping who will have two minutes out of the game
     
    26:47
    For interference Kurtis Foster has ended that rather brief powerplay for Medvescak and for now it's a four on four hockey game
     
    26:30
    Jonathan Sigalet for tripping has been called into the penalty box and right away after equalising Medvescak are now going on the powerplay
     
    26:08
    Goal for Medvescak! Out of nothing the visitors are on terms! Janus holds on to what looks like a harmless attempt from the left flank but he lets it slip through him for MIKE GLUMAC to stuff the puck home, it's 1-1!
     
    16:51
    The referees have punished Slovan for having too many men on the ice and Medvescak will go on the powerplay with Martin Bakos sitting this one out for the hosts
     
    10:36
    Foster! Free on the right side of the crease the puck gets stuck under his stick with only Janus left to beat!
     
    09:32
    Stajnoch! Just after a goalmouth scramble at the other end Stajnoch breaks away two on one and Brust denies him blocker side!
     
    08:49
    That powerplay didn't last for long though. Vladimir Mihalik for interference has been sent to the penalty box now for Slovan
     
    08:13
    The visitors have picked up another penalty, Brust for holding has been penalised and Hugh Jessiman will sit this one out for him
     
    08:09
    Olvecky! What a move by the forward! He jinks in and around the Medvescak defence, but shoots only into Brust's chest!
     
    06:35
    Goal for Slovan! It's been a fast and furious start to the game and Slovan draw first blood! MARKO DANO bats the puck out of midair and into the net as a rebound pops out from the crease and it's 1-0! Assists- Peter Olvecky
     
    04:13
    Satan! The Slovan legend fires directly into Barry Brust from the doorstep with no one around him!
     
    02:26
    Medvescak have certainly taken charge early on but they have picked up a cheap penalty, Michael Ryan for roughing has been called
     
    01:03
    Ellison! Big early chance for the visitors to take the lead! Matt Ellison drives hard to the net and Jaroslav Janus in the Slovan net does really well to keep that one out!
