    113:24
    Goal for Salavat Yulaev! The goal is given and after almost five hours the game is over! ALEXANDER STEPANOV batted the puck out of the air almost on top of the net and the referees rule it a clean goal, it's 2-1!
     
    113:24
    The puck is in the Torpedo net after a scramble on the crease! Torpedo are protesting against it and the referees are taking a second look!
     
    112:51
    Immonen! Right on the doorstep he takes an air shot when he seemed certain to score!
     
    112:03
    Parshin! It's a two on one breakaway for Torpedo after Salavat had a couple of their own chances but Zubarev does really well to pressure Zubarev out wide!
     
    111:00
    Evgeniy Skachkov wrists into Vasilevskiy's pads just after at the other end Stepanov couldn't force the puck home on the crease!
     
    110:20
    Salavat go offside. The pace is really dropping again now with all the players looking rather tired
     
    109:44
    And Salavat on that note have taken a timeout with some of the fans in the arena starting to fall asleep! We have been going already four and a half hours and thanks for sticking with us!
     
    109:44
    Icing is committed by Salavat
     
    108:31
    Pihlstrom! Antti Pilhstrom at the top of the crease backhands the puck but Kasutin pads it away
     
    107:33
    Off the faceoff draw Vasilevskiy has to be very alert to push away a strong slapshot!
     
    107:31
    Parshin takes up the loose puck, turns inside looks for a shooting option and goes central on Vasilevskiy with a low wrist shot
     
    106:42
    Tempers are again starting to raise between two exhausted sets of players as Torpedo go offside
     
    105:54
    Torpedo press hard in the Salavat zone for other 30 seconds but eventually the visitors manage to clear
     
    104:44
    Parshin! With traffic in front of him he sends in a wrist shot looking to catch Vasilevskiy out but the goalkeeper deals with it!
     
    104:27
    Salavat move offside
     
    103:37
    Sopel makes a terrible mistake coughing up the puck behind the net with Vasilevskiy out of position but he gets away with it!
     
    102:59
    Salminen! At the left hand post he is inches away from poking the puck home!
     
    102:36
