    63:53
    Goal for Lev!
    Lev came back quickly the other way, a long shot from Zackrisson trickles through Koshechkin and he saves it from going over the line. Then Metallurg can't get it out of the zone and Zackrisson took another long shot. Koshechkin stopped it but was still off balance and NATHAN OYSTRICK got two whacks at the puck, the second one from below the goal line banked in off Koshechkin's right leg and across the goal line. We're going to game 7!
    Assist: Patrik Zackrisson.
     
    63:40
    Mozyakin with a pass, great save Vehanen.
     
    62:40
    Novotny and Maenpaa take shots, Koshechkin one save, the next one blocked, and now play is stopped because the Metallurg net is dislodged. Faceoff in the Metallurg zone.
     
    57:39
    Goal for Lev!
    Wow! They were getting nothing as Metallurg sat back defending, but finally they get a shot through after the puck came out of a scramble along the boards, MIKKO MAENPAA wristed it through a crowd and this game is tied 4-4!
     
    49:30
    Big blast from Nathan Oystrick and he hits the goalpost!
     
    43:41
    Then a breakaway for Bogdan Potekhin, shoots wide. Finally Vehanen covers it.
     
    43:13
    Danis Zaripov tries to cut in but Topi Jaakola stays with him and takes him down without getting a shot.
     
    38:41
    Goal for Metallurg!
    Lev had killed the penalty, but just after it ended Mozyakin led a rush down the right wing, and things can always happen when he has the puck. He fed the trailer, FRANCIS PARE, with a perfect pass, which he one-timed off the near-side post and in for the go-ahead goal.
    Assist: Sergei Mozyakin.
     
    37:35
    Lee with a couple of shots, first from the shot, then Mozyakin sets him up and Vehanen makes another pad save.
     
    36:27
    Dmitri Kazionov backs into Martin Thornberg, who knocks him down. He's getting a penalty for tripping, so Metallurg to the power play.
     
    35:41
    Now a mad scramble in the crease and Vehanen finally covers it. What a game this is!
     
    35:12
    This time Mozyakin out front to Zaripov for the one timer, kicked out by Vehanen. So dangerous those two are.
     
    34:04
    Zaripov with a cheeky move to beat a defenceman, backhand pass out front to Mozyakin, Vehanen gets a piece of his shot to deflect it wide.
     
    31:50
    Lev back at full strength and rush 3-on-2, Azevedo the shot but Kosechin the save, and he finally covers.
     
    29:18
    Michal Thornberg bumps into Koshechkin while Lev is trying to set up another shot and he's called for goaltender interference. Metallurg to their first power play of this game.
     
    27:58
    Goal for Lev!
    The momentum swings in this game . . . Birner out from behind the net to RYAN O'BYRNE at the point, and he blasts it through everybody and this game is tied again.
    Assists: Michal Birner, Michal Repik.
     
    26:50
    Lev 2-on-1 but a great pad save by Koshechkin.
     
    24:55
    Goal for Metallurg!
    A bad break for Petri Vehanen. CHRIS LEE teed up a slapper from the top of the circle, it tipped off the end of Vehanen's glove, pops up into the air and lands inside the net before anyone can rescue it. Two quick goals has sucked the energy right out of this building.
    Assists: Tim Brent, Yevgeny Timkin.
     
    22:05
    Goal for Metallurg!
    They were putting on pressure in the zone, and finally Osala with a lovely backhand pass out in front to MIKHAIL YUNKOV, who one-times it in from the slot to tie this game.
    Assist: Oscar Osala, Sergei Tereschenko.
     
    22:05

    19:08
    Goal for Lev!

    Assists: Ondrej Nemec, Justin Azevedo.
     
    17:55
    Another scramble in front, Koshechkin down but nobody can put it in, then the puck is cleared.
     
    17:35
    Maenpaa walks in from the point with the puck and fires it just high.
     
    17:09
    Now Jan Kovar and Jiri Novotny get into it in the corner, Novotny loses his helmet and Kovar gets called for roughing. Metallurg don't like the call, but Lev going back to the power play, 1/1 today.
     
    13:53
    Goal for Lev!
    That didn't take long, and it was JUSTIN AZEVEDO with the one-time blast. That temporarily gives him a KHL-record 7-game goal-scoring streak, but there was a lot of traffic in front and the puck looked like it changed direction. It might end up going to Niko Kapanen, who was stationed in front, but for now it's Azevedo tying the game on the power play.
    Assists: Petr Vrana, Ondrej Nemec.
     
    13:03
    Now Sergei Mozyakin is getting the first penalty of the game for tripping in the attacking zone, so Lev to the power play.

    Mozyakin breaks through but fires wide from the slot, then Zaripov hits the side of the net from down low.
     
    09:47
    Goal for Metallurg!
    From the faceoff deep in their own zone, Zaripov passed up to SERGEI MOZYAKIN, who beat Maenpaa to the outside and then backhanded it through Vehanen from an angle to open the scoring.
    Assists: Danis Zaripov, Jan Kovar.
     
    05:37
    Now a misplayed puck in the Lev zone and it lands right on the stick of Mikhail Yunkov in the slot. He rushes his shot and Vehanen has to be alert to make his first save of the game.
     
    04:50
    Nemec from the point, save Koshechkin, then stops Thornberg on the rebound.
     
    03:23
    A turnover in the Metallurg zone and two chances for Thornberg, first hits Koshechkin in the chest, then shoots wide.
