Tuesday 04.03.2014, 19:00 • Tipsport Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    VIACHESLAV KOZLOV scores the only goal of the shootout and is credited with the game-winning goal.
     
    Veteran Vyacheslav Kozlov goes to the backhand and beats Engren 5-hole to put Spartak up.
     
    62:00
    Kapanen leads a Lev rush, scramble in front Jiri Sekac had Shesterkin down but he couldn't get it over him.
     
    55:24
    Goal for Spartak!
    My goodness, an absolutely horrible giveaway in the Lev zone by Patrik Zackrisson, who has played pretty well this game. It goes right on the stick of NIKOLAI LEMTYUGOV, who was all alone in the slot and had Engren at his mercy. He puts it in to tie this game.
    Unassisted.
     
    49:41
    Dangerous Lev rush led by Jakub Nakladal, he found Michal Birner who nearly had his second goal in just over 2 minutes but he just missed, then the puck came off the end boards and Shesterkin covers.
     
    47:31
    Goal for Lev!
    They get enough shots and finally put one in. Nathan Oystrick at the point was looking for someone open down low and he found MICHAL BIRNER at the side of the net, who nicely re-directed it in before Shesterkin could get across for the go-ahead goal.
    Assists: Nathan Oystrick, Ondrej Nemec.
     
    44:47
    Scramble in front of the Lev goal, Spartak gets a couple of shots including a backhander from Filipp Toluzakov from right in front with Atte Engren down but he hits him in the chest and the puck's eventually covered.
     
    37:30
    David Ullstrom takes the puck down low in the Spartak zone, finds Dominik Pacovsky driving to the net but Igor Shesterkin makes a huge save sticking the left pad out. The youngster very nearly had his 2nd goal of the game.
     
    33:37
    Martin Sevc is called for hooking in his own zone trying to prevent a scoring chance, so Spartak goes to the power play, they're 0/1 today.
     
    32:00
    Patrik Zackrisson with a full head of steam into the Spartak zone, tries to pick the far corner with a slapper but Igor Shesterkin gets his stick on it to just tip it wide of the post.
     
    29:45
    Nikolai Lemtyugov cuts out of the corner and tries to beat Atte Engren but he's denied from point blank, and he eventually covers the puck. Best save by either goalie so far tonight.
     
    22:08
    Matt Anderson is called for tripping in his own zone as Spartak is under a bit of pressure. Lev to the power play for the first time.
     
    17:19
    Lev's Ryan O'Byrne took a hack at Igor Volkov trying to thwart a Spartak rush and he's getting the first penalty of this game for slashing. Spartak to the power play.
     
    13:56
    Goal for Spartak!
    Spartak with some pressure in the Lev zone, the puck was fed back to GRIGORI ZHELDAKOV at the point, and he fired a low wrister through traffic that found the back of the net.
    Assists: Igor Volkov, Denis Bodrov.
     
    11:42
    Goal for Lev!
    From centre ice, Jiri Novotny sends a lead pass to DOMINIK PACOVSKY at the Spartak blueline, and he takes a few strides and fires it from the top of the circle, beating Shesterkin high stick side for his first KHL goal.
    Assists: Jiri Novotny, Marc-Andre Gragnani.
