    The final buzzer has sounded, and Avangard have taken complete control of the series against Dinamo Minsk with a 4-0 victory that puts them 2-0 up overall! Oleg Shilin is the real hero having not conceded a goal in the series as yet. Denis Kazionov opened up the scoring midway through the first period before Nikita Pivtsakin with a double and Kirill Rasskazov finished off the job. Thanks for following the game with us, and join us again for the third game of the KHL Nadezhda Cup final on Saturday afternoon! (20:15:35)

    Game over.
     
    59:56
    Portasenya twists at the point, unleashes a pacy wrist shot but it's directly into Oleg Shilin's chest who is very close to his second shutout in a row
     
    59:30
    We're already now into the final 30 seconds of the match with Avangard coasting to their second victory of the series
     
    58:38
    Sergey Kostitsyn finishes off yet another wonderful team move sliding the puck into the net but the referees are taking a second look at this to see if it was scored with the skate! And they have indeed ruled that Kostitsyn bundled the puck home on purpose with his skate, so the score remains at 4-0 in Avangard's favour
     
    57:51
    Milchakov crouches down at his near post glove side to catch a fairly harmless effort as time is starting to run down
     
    56:51
    Sergey Kalinin breaks down the right on a two on one, finds a strike partner at the far post but the puck isn't taken control of

    55:39
    Avangard's penalty killing is working well and they're back to full strength
     
    54:04
    Materukhin again causes real trouble for the away defence as he drifts behind the net from the left taking everyone out of the game but he can't find anyone with his pass!
     
    53:39
    Dinamo are to their credit giving it everything they've got and they have a big powerplay chance here to get their first goal of the Nadezhda Cup final as Stefan Ruzicka has been called for high sticking
     
    53:07
    Shilin! It's a fantastic save from the young netminder who is yet to concede in this series! Materukhin battles his way through to the slot, he wrists looking for the right hand corner but Shilin reacts brilliantly to deny him with his glove!
     
    50:58
    Materukhin! The bobbling puck falls to Alexander Materukhin who fires inches wide of the far post from the left of the crease!
     
    50:05
    Despite Dinamo's difficulties their fans certainly haven't lost their voices and they are continuing to roar on their team
     
    49:06
    Protasenya! He's picked out with a long searching cross ice pass but as he breaks through one on one he loses control of the puck!
     
    47:29
    Dinamo set up camp in their opponents' zone, but as they send it back to the point no one can grab hold of it
     
    46:14
    The away side ice the puck with just over six minutes played in the third period
     
    45:46
    Dinamo are now back at full strength
     
    45:04
    Perezhogin! Dmitriy Milchakov makes his first save of the night as he beats away a fearsome Alexander Perezhogin slapper from the right faceoff circle!
     
    43:46
    Andrey Filichkin for high sticking has been punished and Avangard have a powerplay opportunity to increase their already commanding lead
