    After the game 2 marathon, game 3 ends in a respectable amount of time, and perhaps fairly, each team has now won once in overtime. Michal Repik, just out of the penalty box, joined the rush and scored the OT winner on a howitzer of a blast, giving Lev the 2-1 series lead.

    These two teams have played a lot of hockey over the past four days and they go right back at it again tomorrow night in Bratislava. Come back and join us, won't you? (20:04:11)
     
    Game over.
     
    73:28
    Goal for Lev!
    Not long after killing off the penalty, Lev break out of their own zone. Petr Vrana crosses the blueline and dishes to MICHAL REPIK, just out of the box, and from the high slot he fires and absolute rocket top corner to the stick side of Leighton. Game over.
    Assist: Petr Vrana.
     
    72:12
    Yakutsenya from the point, Engren directs it to the corner.
     
    73:00
    Finally Donbass get their act together and we get a huge push around the goal, big scramble in the crease but Atte Engren keeps it out, and we get pushing and shoving after the whistle. :17 left in the penalty, faceoff inside, though Lev think it should be outside.
     
    72:15
    Lev aggressive on the PK, slapper from Thornberg from the blueline, pad save Leighton.
     
    71:27
    Puck out of play in the Donbass zone. They're backed up on their power play.
     
    71:17
    Michal Repik gets his stick up and, after a delay, he's going off for high-sticking. Already the third penalty of this overtime period. Donbass to the power play again.
     
    70:22
    Donbass back at full strength, puck deflects out of play in the Donbass zone, faceoff inside.

    Jan Kolar with a penalty for holding the stick. Donbass bench doesn't like the call, but Lev to the power play.
     
    67:50
    Kapanen tries to stuff the puck in on Leighton but he has no room. I think that was Lev's first shot of OT.

    Donbass the more dominant team in the early going of overtime and now they're going to the power play as Michal Repik cleared it out of play from his own zone. Here we go . . .

    Another great chance for Donbass, this time a cross-crease pass to Belukhin but Engren comes across to rob him, and this time he freezes it.
