There's a shot on goal, Vehanen stops it but DMITRI KAGARLITSKY gets to the rebound and puts it in from a sharp angle. Not likely to make a difference at this point.
Assists: Viktor Zakharov, Jan Kolar.
Just out of the penalty box, VIKTOR ZAKHAROV takes a breakaway pass, he goes to the forehand deke and slips it in between Vehanen's pad and the post to get Donbass on the board.
It's starting to turn into a laugher now, as Kapanen from the boards finds PATRIK ZACKRISSON all alone in front, and he makes no mistake.
Assists: Niko Kapanen, Michal Repik
And the Tipsport Arena DJ serenades Donbass with the song "Pata" (5th) by Zuzana Norisova (to the tune of Petula Clark's "Downtown"), a strange Czech hockey tradition when the home teams scores their 5th goal.
They had just failed to connect on a 3-on-2 rush, but Lev kept the puck in the zone and Marc-Andre Gragnani's shot from the point is beautifully tipped by PETR VRANA in front.
Assists: Marc-Andre Gragnani, Michal Repik.
They go right back to the attack. Justin Azevedo's pass attempt is blocked, but it goes right to JIRI NOVOTNY. Laco stopped his first shot, but he took a couple more whacks at it and put it in to make it 3-0 just 45 seconds later. The excited captain threw his body into the corner glass after the goal.
Assists: Justin Azevedo, David Ullstrom.
JAKUB MATAI led the rush into the Donbass zone, passed to Ridderwall, whose shot was blocked, then Matai got the puck back and fired it home.
Assist: Calle Ridderwall.
Well that shows what I know. That shot apparently went off the goalpost and the back post before coming out. They've backed up the time accordingly. JUSTIN AZEVEDO with a bullet of a wrister on the rush.
Assist: Jiri Sekac.
