    60:30
    We almost have a fight on our hands here and both sides have had a man sent to the box for roughing, with it being Sergey Plotnikov for the hosts and Andrey Kuteikin for SKA. The referees did well to break that up immediately!
     
    56:39
    SKA will be very disappointed to having conceded just as they were edging closer to the end! But they out of nothing have been gifted what could be a crucial powerplay, as for high sticking Lokomotiv's Sergey Plotnikov has been penalised!
     
    49:52
    Just as SKA have five players on the ice again the referees have their arm up for a Lokomotiv offence, as now Steffan Kronwall has been found guilty of delaying the game. These two really are enjoying taking it in turns to go on the powerplay!
     
    47:29
    Here's another penalty but this time it's against SKA, who have some defending to do as they have been caught with having too many men on the ice
     
    45:08
    Lokomotiv have made their task harder here as they looked to build up some pressure, forward Sergey Plotnikov has been penalised for interference
     
    28:44
    Lokomotiv have a very promising opportunity to put the pressure on here as SKA forward Tony Martensson has been sent to the penalty box for slashing
     
    18:48
    Both teams keep taking it in turns to hand each other powerplays and now it's SKA with a numerical advantage, as Lokomotiv's Jiri Novotny has been punished for hooking
     
    14:49
    This period really is being littered with penalties and here's already the fourth, as SKA's Maxim Chudinov has been handed a two minute minor for holding
     
    05:38
    The penalties keep on coming one after another! Patrick Thoresen is the next to be in the referee's bad books afetr being penalised for interference!
     
    03:31
    And almost immediately SKA themselves are going to have a man's advantage, as Lokomotiv's Ilya Lyubushkin has been called for high sticking
     
    01:21
    We already have the first penalty of the game though, as Andrey Kuteikin of SKA has been penalised for holding
