    54:24
    The visitors have earned themselves what could be a vital powerplay here as time is starting to run down! Yugra's Vitaliy Sitnikov has been handed a two minute minor for slashing against Evgeniy Dadonov!
     
    49:12
    But already SKA have picked up yet another needless penalty! Andrey Kuteikin is now the guilty party, this time for interference
     
    47:06
    SKA are desperately on the ropes but they've been helped out by Ben Maxwell of Yugra here, as he has been sent to the penalty box for slashing
     
    45:28
    And that's quickly become a five on three for Yugra, SKA are running into penalty trouble at the worst possible time! For slashing Roman Cervenka has now been penalised
     
    44:30
    SKA have made their life a bit harder here, as Dmitriy Yudin has virtually out of nothing been handed a 2+10 penalty for holding!
     
    36:35
    Yugra have burst their own bubble here though, for interference while attacking Denis Sokolov has been sent to the penalty box
     
    33:16
    Bulyanskiy! Artyom Bulyanskiy breaks through on to the slot from the right flank, he's denied excellently by Evgeniy Ivannikov but the referees have spotted an offence in that play! Defenceman Alexey Semenov has been handed a two minute minor for
     
    31:19
    Yugra are feeling a lot better about themselves now and they've got a powerplay chance to extend their momentum, SKA's Dmitriy Yudin has been punished for holding
     
    21:05
    It can surely only get better for Yugra after that disastrous first period and they've earned a very quick powerplay for themselves, SKA defenceman Andrey Kuteikin has been penalised for slashing
     
    17:53
    It wasn't a full strength game for long though as the hosts have now been spotted for having too many men on the ice, and Nikita Filatov will sit this one out for his team
     
    14:51
    The penalties keep on coming! Now it's Lukas Kaspar of Yugra who has been handed a two minute minor, this time for hooking
     
    13:08
    The numbers have been evened up here though, as SKA's Vadim Shipachyov has been found guilty of tripping against his opponent
     
    12:21
    For holding Sergey Lesnukhin of Yugra has now been called into the penalty box! The hosts are simply committing suicide here, they desperately need the first intermission!
     
    08:43
    It is just so easy for SKA at the moment, I'm sure even they didn't expect such a superb start! And Yugra defenceman Andrey Sergeev has now been sent to the penalty box for slashing, it isn't getting any better for the hosts!
