Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
Monday 17.03.2014, 16:30 • Luzhniki Stadium • KHL
     
    There's the final buzzer, and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl have thrashed Dynamo Moscow 5-1 on the night and claimed the series 4-3 to knock out the reigning champions! Dynamo had won the past two Gagarin Cups but the fairytale has now come to an end. Their opponents looked more up for it from the start and quickfire goals from Alexander Chernikov and Geoff Platt put them in the driving seat, before Leonid Komarov got Dynamo back into it. Lokomotiv killed their opponents off however in the third period with three unanswered goals from Sergey Konkov with a double and Yegor Averin. Lokomotiv will now face SKA Saint Petersburg in the second round. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more breathtaking KHL playoff action! (19:02:29)

    59:12
    Goal for Lokomotiv! The puck drops out to YEGOR AVERIN who just past the blue line fires easily into the empty net to put the icing on the cake! It's 5-1! Assists- Sergey Plotnikov
     
    59:05
    Kokarev! Looking for the left hand post he's denied by another fantastic Sanford save!
     
    59:01
    Ryazantsev! Alexander Ryazantsev winds up from the point but it's right into Sanford's chest!
     
    58:34
    Tsvetkov completely loses his footing when looking to go for a one timer from the right faceoff circle!
     
    57:03
    Maxim Solovyov slaps the puck wide of Sanford's net! And Eremenko has now been pulled for the extra skater for Dynamo's final throw of the dice!
     
    57:01
    It's icing from the visitors
     
    56:01
    Lokomotiv fully deserve to go through to the second round and their next opponents are going to have to do something special to beat them
     
    55:31
    Goal for Lokomotiv! That should be that! SERGEY KONKOV skates clean through one on one, drags the puck to his backhand and beautifully finds the net! Powerplay goal and it's 4-1!
     
    54:59
    It really is going all wrong for the reigning champions! Leonid Komarov for checking to the head has let his team down and Lokomotiv have another powerplay chance to finish this game off
     
    54:28
    Dynamo are now back to full strength and have just over five minutes to make a miracle happen
     
    54:17
    Niklas Kronwall from the blue line fires into Eremenko's pads and no one can get to the rebound!
     
    52:28
    Dynamo's defence of the Gagarin Cup looks to be coming to an end as Maxim Pestushko has been punished for high sticking and puts his team on the penalty kill
     
    52:18
    Instead of driving on Komarov wrists early just past the blue line and that is never going to trouble the Lokomotiv goaltender
     
    51:44
    Musatov! Dynamo lose the puck right outside their own zone, Igor Musatov takes it up, drifts to the right looking to sneak it under Eremenko's glove but the netminder saves!
     
    50:55
    Jalasvaara! Kokarev spinning around the net feeds Janne Jalasvaara on the left hand boards who slaps the puck into Sanford's glove first time!
     
    49:57
    And the visitors now ice the puck with just over ten minutes left
