    58:31
    SKA have taken a timeout! And for the last throw of the dice Alexander Salak has been pulled for the extra skater!
     
    52:38
    They have made their task harder though, as despite having all of the momentum Patrick Thoresen has been penalised for slashing
     
    50:20
    Goal for SKA!
    The comeback is most certainly on now! Atlant are hanging on by the skin of their teeth! Roman Cervenka fires in from the right faceoff circle, and PATRICK THORESEN pokes it in directly on the goal line! Powerplay goal and it's 4:3! Assists- Roman Cervenka and Viktor Tikhonov
     
    48:34
    The penalties keep on coming now! Atlant's Andrey Tatarukhin is the next to be sent to the box, it's getting a bit scrappy at times now!
     
    46:12
    That Atlant powerplay didn't last for too long though, as Mikhail Glukhov has been handed a two minute minor for hooking as well
     
    45:08
    The visitors have burst their own bubble here though, as forward Jimmie Ericsson has been found guilty of hooking against his opponent!
     
    42:57
    And Atlant have now taken a very well needed timeout, after such a confident couple of periods they are in serious danger of throwing it all away!
     
    42:57
    Goal for SKA!
    Wow. all of a sudden SKA are right back in it! Atlant look all at sea as the puck is flying all around everywhere, and ILYA KOVALCHUK banks it off the goalkeeper's back! It's 4:2!
     
    42:28
    Goal for SKA!
    Finally the away fans have something to cheer about! A mad goalmouth scramble erupts on the crease, it's eventually sent back to the high slot and DMITRIY YUDIN thumps it in the net! It's 4:1! Assists- Ilya Kablukov
     
    40:24
    Goal for Atlant!
    They should seal it now for the hosts! The SKA defence is nowhere to be seen as the puck is chucked across the crease from pinned up against the right hand boards, and MAXIM POTAPOV taps it over the line at the far post! It's 4:0! Assists- Artyom Chernov and Maxim Mayorov
     
    35:39
    SKA just aren't on their game at all today so far! And they're going on a very unwanted penalty kill, as forward Vadim Shipachyov has been punished for checking against the boards
     
    34:50
    Goal for Atlant!
    Atlant are simply brimming with confidence! SKA cough up the puck in the neutral zone, and after a cute tic tac toe play NIKITA SOSHNIKOV finds the net just to the right of the crease! It's 3:0! Assists- Matthew Gilroy
     
    32:23
    Atlant goaltender Atte Engren is completely taken out and he's being seen to by the medical staff, but after a few minutes he seems ok to carry on!
     
    30:51
    Soshnikov! Again Nikita Soshnikov is in the thick of the action, he just can't score today! Wonderfully getting the better of the entire SKA defence bullying his way in from the left he works a perfect chance for himself, but can't lift it over the goalkeeper's right pad!
     
    29:55
    Goal for Atlant!
    That was an opportunity that they couldn't let go to waste! Up steps MIKHAIL GLUKHOV, and he wrists clinically into the left hand corner! It's 2:0!
     
    29:55
    Atlant out of nothing have a penalty shot! Mikhail Glukhov was skating through one on one, and he was chopped down illegally!
     
    27:23
    We have first penalty of the day and it's against the hosts, forward Artyom Voronin has been penalised for holding
     
    23:40
    Now SKA's Ilya Kovalchuk is the next to hit the woodwork! What a game this is turning out to be! Ilya Kovalchuk on the right faceoff circle winds up for a massive slapshot, and it cannons off the bar!
     
    21:40
    Soshnikov! How many chances does he want! On a pacy three on two breakaway Nikita Soshnikov is picked out skating hard down the left, but with the goal at his mercy he contrives to smack the near post! The goalkeeper was already helpless there!
     
    13:41
    All of a sudden it's a SKA two on one down the right flank, Vadim Shipachyov pulls to the backhand, the net looks empty, but Atte Engren with an amazing glove save shuts the door! Both goalkeepers are putting on a show so far!
     
    11:01
    Salak! Just what planet is he on today! As the puck is rolling all around the SKA slot Andreas Engqvist looks to dink it over Alexander Salak's left pad, but somehow the netminder reaches it! That was even better than his previous save!
     
    07:42
    Soshnikov! What a fantastic chance to put Atlant up by two, he looked sure to score! The puck is wizzed across to Nikita Soshnikov all alone to the left of the slot, but both of his attempts are stunningly saved by Alexander Salak's glove! That's an unbelievable save!
     
    04:39
    Soshnikov! Twisting around the net to the right post Nikita Soshnikov tries to stuff it over the line, but at the last minute Alexander Salak gets his pad in the way! That was so close to going in!
     
    00:44
    Dadonov! Straight away SKA could have got back on terms! A poor turnover right by their own net by Atlant defencemen lets in Evgeniy Dadonov, but one on one he can't get the better of Atte Engren!
     
    00:34
    Goal for Atlant!
    Within just seconds the hosts take a surprising lead! Alexander Salak gives out a big rebound off a wrister from the right flank, and ARTYOM CHERNOV takes full advantage of it making no mistake with the net half empty! It's 1:0! Assists- Sergey Shmelyov
