    56:08
    This really isn't the time for Sibir to start collecting needless penalties but that's exactly what they've done here, Sergey Shumakov for checking to the head is the guilty party
     
    53:04
    Metallurg have given away a potentially very important powerplay here now though, as Vladimir Malinovskiy has been penalised for slashing!

    But out of nothing the hosts have been gifted a powerplay chance to take the pressure of their shoulders, as Sibir's Sergey Shumakov has been punished for hooking! That won't please the visitors at all!

    That Sibir powerplay has been cut short though, as their defenceman Vyacheslav Belov has been sent to sit down for two minutes for holding his opponent

    Before the period is out we've got another penalty here, as Metallurg's Alexander Makarov has been penalised for tripping

    15:35
    This is really turning into a very eventful opening period of play! And just after conceding those two rather unexpected goals Sibir have been handed a powerplay chance to get their game going again, as Ryan Stoa has been penalised for slashing
     
    07:22
