    59:13
    With already less than a minute remaining Barry Brust has now been pulled for the extra skater!
     
    54:32
    Goal for CSKA!
    And there is that goal which could turn out to be the winner! Sprinting into Medvescak's zone with real speed JAN MURSAK pulls out from the middle slightly to the right, and he whips it past the netminder clinically! It's 2:3! Assists- Bogdan Kiselevich
     
    50:25
    Medvescak are back at full strength again but they almost conceded immediately! Evgeniy Korotkov showing a remarkable change of speed skates in clean through, but he can't control the puck when shaping to shoot!
     
    48:27
    As soon as CSKA came back to full strength they themselves are now going on the powerplay! Medvescak's Branislav Mezei has been punished for interference
     
    46:05
    Evgeniy Artyukhin falls right on top of Barry Brust, and the netminder doesn't like that at all! He jumps to his feet and shoves the CSKA forward in the chest, but no penalty has been called against him! But Evgeniy Artyukhin hasn't escaped, as he has been penalised for interference!
     
    38:53
    Denis Denisov of CSKA for hooking has been sent to the penalty box, and the hosts have been gifted a golden opportunity to get something going! The visitors have been brighter since the re start and Medvescak look a little flat!
     
    36:17
    Mursak! What a perfect chance to put CSKA ahead for the third time today, but he's missed it! Jan Mursak feeding on to a devilish pass into the crease can only poke over with the goal at his mercy! He simply had to hit the target!
     
    34:48
    Because of problems with the doors which allow the players to enter the ice the period has indeed been stopped, and five minutes before the end of the second stanza the referees have sent both sides off for an early break! Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon.
     
    34:48
    All of a sudden the referees have taken both teams off, there seems to be a problem with the ice. It's not quite clear what's going on, but I'll let you know as soon I know myself!
     
    29:31
    Segal! A thunderous slapper cannons off the boards, and lurking almost on the goal line by the left post Brandon Segal can't turn it home! That was a real opening for Medvescak!
     
    28:24
    CSKA are now finding themselves on the penalty kill, as forward Stephane Da Costa has been penalised for slashing
     
    24:52
    A penalty has been called on that play but surprisingly it's against Medvescak themselves, as for tripping Brandon Segal has been sent for a two minute sit down
     
    24:52
    Prokhorkin! Evgeniy Artyukhin brilliantly sets up Nikolay Prokhorkin all alone on the right faceoff circle, but his blast is kicked away by Barry Brust! And on the rebound Jan Mursak almost slashed the netminder's head off, that was dangerous!
     
    23:21
    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    All of a sudden the hosts are back on level terms! CSKA get caught out on a two on one breakaway, PATRICK BJORKSTRAND takes on the shot from the left faceoff circle and it beats the unsighted Stanislav Galimov! It's 2:2! Assists- Mathieu Carle
     
    17:59
    But the numbers have already been evened up! Tempers are starting to seriously raise here, and Evgeniy Artyukhin of CSKA has been sent to the penalty box for slashing and for high sticking, meaning that he will be there for four minutes!
     
    17:33
    Radulov! Alexander Radulov charges through one on one, but he can't get the puck out from under his stick in time! But CSKA are going on the powerplay again, as Medvescak's Mathieu Carle has been punished for slashing in that play
     
    14:47
    Goal for CSKA!
    It's another powerplay marker and the visitors are ahead for the second time today! Nikita Zaitsev whips the puck into the slot from the left faceoff circle, and Barry Brust can only kick it out directly on to the stick of STEPHANE DA COSTA who tucks it home! Powerplay goal and it's 1:2! Assists- Nikita Zaitsev and Denis Denisov
     
    13:54
    Brandon Segal of Medvescak has burst the home side's bubble slightly here, as he has been sent to the penalty box for slashing against his opponent
     
    10:41
    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    Both teams are looking hot on the powerplay today! A patient and clever move deep inside CSKA's zone tees up PASCAL PELLETIER on the right faceoff circle, and he absolutely rips it past the goalkeeper and high into the net! Powerplay goal and it's 1:1! Assists- Martin St. Pierre
     
    08:45
    CSKA have picked up their first penalty of the day here, as Evgeniy Korotkov has been penalised for tripping
     
    04:45
    Medvescak are struggling early on and they've got another penalty against their name, Aaron Polushaj has been handed a two minute minor for high sticking
     
    04:25
    Grigorenko! What a great chance to put CSKA up by two already! Charging down on to the doorstep Igor Grigorenko smacks the puck against the goaltender, and on the rebound Stephane Da Costa is brilliantly denied by Barry Brust's mask!
     
    00:59
    Goal for CSKA!
    It didn't take long for CSKA to make the breakthrough! NIKOLAY PROKHORKIN receives the puck on the right faceoff circle, he slowly closes down and thrashes it in off the far post! Powerplay goal and it's 0:1! Assists- Bogdan Kiselevich and Jan Mursak
     
    00:41
    Already we have the first penalty of the game! And it's against Martin St. Pierre of Medvescak who has been penalised for hooking!
