final
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
4:1 (0:0, 3:0, 1:1)
Lev Praha
Sunday 20.04.2014, 13:00 • Arena Metallurg, Magnitogorsk. • KHL
     
    Metallurg finally broke through in that second period, scoring their first 3 goals of the series and added another early in the 3rd. Lev scored one late to make the final score 4-1 in a fast-paced, rough game.

    The series now shifts to Prague, where games 3 and 4 will become the two largest crowds in KHL history, as both games are sold out at the 17,000-seat O2 Arena. And we now know that we will come back to Magnitogorsk for a 5th game next Saturday. (15:37:20)

    They've been pushing this period and finally get on the board. Maenpaa with the long pass to JUSTIN AZEVEDO on the left wing. It looked like he was in too deep but made a great effort to cut in front and force the puck past Koshechkin to break his shutout.
