    Thank you for following the game with us! (14:21:33)
     
    In an even third period with few chances and many, many breaks, Admiral failed to reduce the two-goal deficit of the first 20 minutes anymore and the result remained at 3-1 in favour of Metallurg who take the 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven series of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals!
