    Goal for JHC Spartak! Overtime didn't last long at all! EGOR YUDOV skates hard down the right flank, shows fantastic skill to break through the entire Krasnaya Armiya defence and he beats the goalkeeper glove side! It's 4-3! Assists- Ilya Pavlyukov
     
    59:12
    Shiksatdarov! What a perfect chance to win the game here and now but he's missed it! He battles his way through the defence to go one on one but he can't force the puck under Shesterkin's left pad!
     
    57:55
    Goal for JHC Spartak! What a stunning match! Egor Yudov shows amazing skill to twist around his opponent cutting to the crease and the puck falls on to the stick of ARKHIL NEKOLENKO who pokes it past the goalkeeper, it's 3-3! Assists- Egor Yudov
     
    56:11
    Sergey Klechkin dives on the loose puck on the slot and Alexander Samoilov reacts brilliantly to get something on it! And in that incident Georgy Makkaev has picked up an injury and hobbled off the ice
     
    53:40
    Goal for Krasnaya Armiya! You can't keep picking up penalties against this team, they're ruthless at times! ALEXANDER SHAROV drives closer to the slot and absolutely lets rip giving Shesterkin no chance with a slapper into the right hand corner, powerplay goal and it's 3-2! Assists- Maxim Mamin
     
    53:00
    Not for long though. For having six players on the ice Spartak have been punished and it's another great powerplay chance for Krasnaya Armiya, Sergey Klichkin will sit this one out for his team
     
    50:40
    Ilya Nekolenko for holding has been called and for four seconds Krasnaya Armiya have a five on three powerplay
     
    50:37
    Poduboshnov! Wow what a fantastic chance! Free lurking by the left hand post Pavel Poduboshnov is picked out, he one times the puck into the near post but he's denied by a stunning Shesterkin blocker save!
     
    48:44
    The visitors are taking charge now creating all the chances and Vyacheslav Ipatov has helped their caused by getting sent to the penalty box for high sticking
     
    47:53
    Shesterkin! What a save from the Spartak goalkeeper! Brilliant combination play ends with Alexander Sharov alone on the slot with only Shesterkin to beat, but the netminder sitting down shuts the door!
     
    46:44
    Evgeniy Voronkov just passing the blue line wrists in on Shesterkin and the young netminder makes a terrible mistake letting the puck creep under him and into the net! But no, incredibly the referees had already blown for offside, Krasnaya Armiya's celebrations are cut short! We stay at 2-2
     
    44:35
    Yudov! Egor Yudov on the doorstep one times the puck only into Samoilov! He should have done better there!
     
    43:43
    And for holding in that episode Ivan Silaev has been called, for the second time today it's a five on three powerplay for Spartak!
     
    43:43
    Krutikov! How didn't he score! The loose puck pops out to Evgeniy Krutikov at point blank range but he can't take the puck around the netminder!
     
    42:30
    Egor Yudov charges in towards the crease and he's been tripped by Dmitriy Ogurtsov who has been penalised for kneeing
     
    38:59
    Much to the relief of Krasnaya Armiya Dmitriy Vorobyov of the home side has been penalised for holding
     
    37:36
    And on that note Spartak have taken a timeout, they know that a five on three powerplay is a great chance to once again take the lead
     
    37:36
    Just six seconds later Dmitriy Ogurtsov chucks the puck out of play and the referees have noticed that! He's now off to the penalty box for the visitors
     
    37:30
    Just after that goal the puck lays under Samoilov and somehow no one can tap it into the net for Spartak! But they're going on the powerplay, Georgy Makkaev has been punished for holding
     
    36:58
    Goal for Krasnaya Armiya! What a reply from the visitors! The puck is moved brilliantly to the right where it's played across the crease and MAXIM MAMIN simply pokes it into the net, straight away it's 2-2! Assists- Alexander Sharov and Alexander Timirev
     
    36:17
    Goal for JHC Spartak! Completely against the run of play Spartak take the lead! Krasnaya Armiya cough the puck up in the attack, it pops out to SERGEY KLECHKIN who skates away one on one and backhands the puck under the goalkeeper, it's 2-1!
     
    31:44
    Sergey Alexeev for slashing has been penalised and Krasnaya Armiya have a powerplay opportunity to go ahead for the second time today
     
    27:44
    Mamin! He cuts in really sharply from the left into the slot, he backhands into Shesterkin, gets his own rebound but again Shesterkin denies him!
     
    25:13
    Kirill Kovalevskiy for holding has been sent to the penalty box and Spartak have their second powerplay of the day
     
    24:55
    Ildar Shiksatdarov twists behind the net, hands the puck to a teammate right on the left of the crease who forces Shesterkin into a wonderful save from point blank range! How did he keep that one out!
     
    17:43
    Goal for JHC Spartak! It's the perfect response from the hosts! SERGEY ALEXEEV winds up from the point and his powerful effort leaves Samoilov helpless, it's 1-1! Assists- Igor Yudov
     
    15:02
    Goal for Krasnaya Armiya! They've been getting better and better and they draw first blood! As the puck comes in from behind the net ARTEM PROKHOROV is there unmarked on the doorstep to tap home, it's 1-0! Assists- Pavel Podluboshnov
     
    10:50
    Clever Spartak build up play is finished with a sharp pass right across the face of goal from the left but somehow no one can get a crucial touch on it!
     
    09:36
    We have the first penalty of the game and it's against Kirill Vorobyov of the visitors for tripping
     
    09:01
    Blazhievskiy! Artem Blazhievskiy driving into the zone shows excellent skill jinking around his opponents, he goes for the right hand corner but the puck rolls just wide!
