Two second period goals from Alexander Perezhogin and Andrey Ivanov and a shutout from young goalkeeper Oleg Shilin were enough to claim victory. Thanks for following the game with us, and be sure to join us again for the second game of the KHL Nadezhda Cup final tomorrow evening! (20:10:15)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:41
    With only nineteen seconds remaining Dinamo have pulled their goaltender for the extra skater!
     
    58:27
    Time is running down now with only just over a minute remaining and Dinamo have to find a goal now to make it a grandstand finish
     
    57:17
    Lintner! What a fearsome slapper from the defenceman! Richard Lintner slaps the puck as hard as he can from the blue line but somehow Shilin gets something on it!
     
    56:27
    The puck is smacked in on goal from just outside the zone but Shilin calmly pads it off to one of his defenders
     
    55:37
    Kalyuzhniy! He fiercely flashes the puck across the face of goal from the left but no one can get a telling touch!
     
    54:53
    Efimenko! He one times the puck on the doorstep off a pass from behind the goal but Shilin is once again equal to the task!
     
    54:10
    Anatoliy Protasenya from behind the net looks to create danger on the slot but Shilin dives on the puck to freeze
     
    54:03
    Avangard commit icing
     
    53:03
    Stefan Ruzicka looks to deflect Sergey Kalinin's twisting shot into the crease but Haugen covers it with his chest and holds
     
    51:42
    Evgeniy Zubkov from the right hand boards rasps the puck in on net and Haugen crouches and holds. And just before that Shilin had to show good reflexes to deflect a high wrister out to the left!
     
    51:20
    Avangard are controlling the game well and not giving their opponents many free spaces
     
    50:29
    It's icing from Dinamo as we cross the halfway point in the third period
     
    49:34
    Dinamo move the puck around the attacking zone well, but the eventual pass back to the point from Alexey Kalyuzhniy lacks accuracy
     
    47:31
    Alexey Efimenko makes a great skate dragging the puck out to the right holding off his defenders, he finds Irgl on the left with Shilin out of position but Irgl all alone can't control the pass!
     
    46:37
    Zakharov! He looks for someone to make a telling deflection with a powerful shot from the point but it goes all the way through to Shilin who catches!
     
    45:37
    Alexander Materukhin breaking away two on one looks for Irgl on the slot but the puck gets shuffled out to the boards and Avangard clear!
     
    44:19
    Shirokov! Picking up the loose puck he tries his luck from the right of the crease but the goalkeeper sees it all the way!
