    Thank you for following the match with us! (20:55:05)
     
    Dinamo riga were able to take the momentum in the third period and to decide the game with three early goals – five consecutive ones – to win game 3 of the Western Conference quarterfinal best of seven series against Donbass Donetsk with 7-3! In the end the result is a bit high but it is a more than deserved win for the Latvians who cut the deficit in the series to 1-2!

    Shots on goal: Dinamo 9 (37) – Donbass 7 (19)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:57
    Just before the end of the game there are a couple of penalties on each side! Georgijs Pujacs (Dinamo) gets 2+2+10 for a check against the head, misconduct and roughing. Clay Wilson (Donbass) gets two minutes for roughing.
     
    59:51
    A harmless distance shot from the right wing by a Donbass player is blocked to the side by Sedlacek.
     
    59:30
    Donbass fail to free the puck from the left corner of the Dinamo third, time is running out...
     
    59:03
    Evgeny Dadonov tries it from close to the blue line but only finds the gloves of Dinamo goalie Sedlacek who had a more than easy job after enetering the match for the unlucky Tellqvist.
     
    58:03
    Gints Meija (Dinamo) gets two minutes for holding after hitting Donbass forward Maxim Yakutsenya with his glove in the face during the fight for the puck inside the neutral zone.
     
    57:38
    Blue line shot by the guests, easy save for Sedlacek in the Dinamo net.
     
    55:00
    It's Dinamo, Dinamo and again Dinamo. The guests have completely stopped their offensive efforts.
     
    53:32
    The Latvian hosts just had a series of dangerous attacks just in front of the Donbass net but somehow Laco kept the puck outside even facing three forwards at once without a defender helping him.
     
    51:38
    Aleksandrs Nizivijs tries to find a team colleague inside the slot but the pass from the left wing is not timed well enough.
     
    49:42
    Maxim Yakutsenya with a deflection at height of the right circle, easy save for Sedlacek!
     
    48:50
    Donbass go all or nothing and defend very high. Their confidence is destroyed anyway for today and they can't lose more than this game anything if they should suffer another series of counter attacks.
     
    47:45
    Dinamo keep the puck behind their own net, take a breathe. With a four goal lead they don't have to risk anything.
     
    46:00
    After receiving three goals within five minutes and five consecutive goals in total the guests look desperate for the end of this game no 3 in the Conference quarterfinals.
     
    45:22
    Goal for Dinamo Riga!


    What is going on? LAURIS DARZINS is sent with a break away and completely alone in front of Laco he dekes out the goalie to beat him with a shot into the right bottom corner – 7-3!!!!!! Can you believe it?

    45:12
    Donbass show a completely different atttitude in offense right now and even hace chances themselves.
     
    43:43
    Timeout Donbass! And it's a very necessary one!
     
    43:43
    Goal for Dinamo Riga!


    Pass from behind the net by Aleksandrs Nizivijs and with a one-timer from just in front of the goalie crease KRISTAPS SOTNIEKS fires the puck in for the 6-3 Dinamo lead! The guests are completely falling apart after having led 3 times in this game!

    Assisted by Aleksandrs Nizivijs and Marcel Hossa.
