    Petr Vrana is now getting a penalty for tripping. Metallurg to the late power play, but they're down 3.
     
    58:16
    Goal for Lev!
    Metallurg pulled the goalie as they entered the Lev zone, but it didn't stay in the zone long and Novotny fed JUSTIN AZEVEDO, who fired it from centre ice into the empty net.
    Assist: Jiri Novotny, Patrik Zackrisson.
     
    56:21
    Brent with a shot from the boards through traffic, I don't think Vehanen saw it but it hit him.
     
    52:00
    12 minutes without a whistle. I've never seen this in professional hockey.
     
    41:18
    Dangerous Metallurg rush to begin the period, Denis Platonov with the backhander but Vehanen barely gets a pad on it to direct it to the corner.
     
    39:30
    2 on 1 Lev, Ridderwall shoots, pad save Koshechkin.
     
    36:45
    Scramble in the Lev crease, Platonov couldn't get a stick on it to slide it in.
     
    35:06
    They had Lev's box broken, it seemed, and the one-time slapper came from Sergei Mozyakin, but it hit a body in front and deflected out of play. Faceoff in the Lev zone with :28 left in the penalty.
     
    33:33
    A penalty for hooking against Lev's Mikko Maenpaa. Metallurg has had trouble getting anything going, but this power play chance might wake them up. They're 0/2 in the game.
     
    24:35
    Goal for Lev!
    Jiri Sekac led the rush into the zone, his initial shot was deflected to the corner, but he won the battle for the puck down low and got the pass out front to PETR VRANA, who backhanded it in the near side. Koshechkin got a piece of it with the glove, but couldn't keep it out.
    Assist: Jiri Sekac, Martin Thornberg.
     
    17:00
    Pare cuts in front, pass to Kovar and Vehanen again denies him from close range. Then Lev clear it the length of the ice.
     
    15:56
    Lev go to the offensive but Jakub Matai knocked down Potekhin and is getting a penalty for holding. Metallurg to the power play, 0/1 today.
     
    15:37
    Metallurg with their first dangerous chance, Mozyakin from behind the net centres for Jan Kovar, but Petri Vehanen stops his one-timer from point blank and holds on.
     
    13:35
    Goal for Lev!
    The power play started slowly but gradually were building pressure, finally MARTIN SEVC fired a one-time blast and, with Jiri Novotny doing his usual screen job in front, Koshechkin didn't see a thing. Power-play goal and the power play continues.
    Assist: Justin Azevedo.
     
    12:41
    Nemec the shot, Koshechkin the save, it's loose in the slot and Novotny tries to dig for the rebound but the goalie finally covers it. 2:25 left in the penalty.
     
    10:06
    Play is stopped as Petr Vrana is knocked down away from the puck, and we've got some pushing and shoving and a penalty to Viktor Antipin . . . and it's a major and a game misconduct for checking to the head! So Lev with a five-minute power play coming up.
     
    04:36
    Lev's Michal Repik is getting the game's first penalty for interference, as he checked Pare at the blueline with the puck nowhere in sight. The dangerous Metallurg power play goes to work.
