SKA St. Petersburg
Friday 31.10.2014, 17:30 • Luzhniki Stadium • KHL
     
    It was a fantastic match, and Dynamo Moscow have eventually been able to see off SKA Saint Petersburg 4:3 after overtime! It could have gone either way, but SKA's back line was just too rocky. Denis Mosalyov, Mat Robinson, Denis Kokarev and Janne Jalasvaara with the overtime winner all hit the target, while SKA replied with goals from Andrey Kuteikin, Tony Martensson and Yury Alexandrov. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more pulsating KHL action! (20:05:48)
     
    Game over.
     
    63:35
    Goal for Dynamo!
    There it is, Dynamo have grabbed the extra point for themselves! Again the visiting defence is nowhere to be seen as taking a dish off the far flank JANNE JALASVAARA taps home open at the right of the crease! It's 3:2! Assists- Kaspars Daugavins and Alexey Tereschenko
     
    63:18
    Belov! Completely open on the right faceoff circle Anton Belov takes aim, but he smashes it wide of the far corner! That was golden opportunity for SKA to take it!
     
    61:25
    Yury Babenko for Dynamo goes on a right wing charge, backhands from close range but near post Alexander Salak shuffles it out wide
     
    60:26
    Here we go in overtime! Both teams already have one point, but nobody wants to lose such a match!

    3rd period finished.
     
    59:46
    It is going to be overtime though with SKA defending expertly! This is a hockey spectacular here!
     
    58:03
    SKA's Jimmie Ericsson has taken a terrible penalty here for interference, he really has let his team down! Out of virtually nothing Dynamo have a perfect chance to grab all three points for themselves!
     
    57:35
    Dynamo come right back though, and by his left post glove side Alexander Salak has to cover up a very dangerous puck! The pace is simply electric here!
     
    57:15
    Goal for SKA!
    They have indeed been able to tie it all up! What wonderful drama here! YURY ALEXANDROV all of a sudden has a lot of space for himself at the blue line, he wrists hard and finds the top right hand corner brilliantly! It's 3:3! Assists- Patrick Thoresen
     
    55:40
    Despite that being a rather lengthy four minutes SKA couldn't find the net at all during that time, and they now have only just over four minutes to find that all important equaliser!
     
    53:40
    That penalty was issued for four minutes by the way, meaning that SKA still have another two minutes with a man's advantage! They are finally being able to create some real chances at their opponents' net!
     
    51:40
    We have a fight on our hands! Yury Alexandrov of SKA along with Andrey Kuteikin take on Yury Babenko of Dynamo, and the Dynamo captain has been sent to the penalty box for interference. It's a chance that SKA have been crying out for!
     
    51:03
    Now for the visitors Ilya Kovalchuk takes on two slapshots in a row, but they both miss the right hand corner. You can expect SKA to do all the running now!
     
    50:14
    Maxim Chudinov for SKA takes on a fearsome slapshot from the point, but the goalkeeper's blocker beats it away! SKA have to up their game now, especially with not an awful lot of time remaining!
     
    48:18
    Goal for Dynamo!
    The visitors are so fragile when being counterattacked against and Alexander Salak is powerless to stop this one! The puck is wizzed across to the far post from a tough angle on the left, and the open DENIS KOKAREV is free to score! It's 3:2! Assists- Maxim Solovyov and Denis Mosalyov
     
    46:41
    Osipov! The goal was gaping for him there! The puck spins to the left hand post, Alexander Osipov wrists into what looks like an empty corner of the net, but Alexander Salak comes up with yet another astounding save! He's in fantastic form today!
