    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!
     
    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!
     
    57:15
    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
     
    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!
     
    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!
     
    41:19
    But now a rather silly and needless penalty has been taken by Dynamo! Sergey Soin has completely slammed his opponent into the boards, and he's lucky to get away with only a two minute minor for that!
     
    38:23
    Goal for Dynamo!
    Incredibly on the penalty kill the hosts have finally found the second goal that you have to say they deserve! Sergey Soin speeds down the left wing, squares it for MAT ROBINSON and despite it coming off his skate the goal has been declared clean! Shorthanded goal and it's 2:2! Assists- Sergey Soin and Denis Mosalyov
     
    37:31
    And they have managed to do just that, as Dynamo's Nikolay Zherdev has been penalised for tripping, giving SKA a very timely powerplay at a time when they are doing all of the defending!
     
    33:54
    Dynamo are doing everything to get back on level terms again, the pressure is simply incessant! And it's drawn a penalty from SKA, as defenceman Dmitriy Kalinin has been found guilty of interference, completely taking out his man!
     
    33:54
    Salak! Wow, just how did he keep that out, it's an unbelievable save! With shots coming at him from point blank range not once, not twice, but three times Alexander Salak on his backside beats them all away! Three contenders for save of the season in just one moment of play!
     
    29:40
    That was much more dangerous however! Again it's Maxim Pestushko at the center of the action, found with a cutting feed alone between the circles he has almost the goal at his mercy, but he's stoned by the goalkeeper! Such openings are hard to come by against SKA!
     
    25:51
    Goal for SKA!
    The Dynamo defence is looking shaky every time SKA come forward and they've been punished! As Alexander Yeryomenko pushes the puck directly on to the doorstep TONY MARTENSSON slides it home! It's 1:2! Assists- Anton Belov and Patrick Thoresen
     
    23:51
    Pestushko! The puck is trickling all around the crease, no one can take it up, directly on the right hand post Maxim Pestushko flicks it but it travels inches wide of the far post! The pace won't let up!
     
    21:09
    Dadonov! SKA get set up deep inside their opponents' zone straight away, Evgeniy Dadonov takes a swing at it moving off the left faceoff circle but he makes poor contact! That looked really dangerous!
     
    16:25
    Goal for Dynamo!
    It was an opportunity that they couldn't let go to waste! With SKA falling everywhere around their own crease DENIS MOSALYOV skates in off the right, and wrists powerfully high near post when between the circles! Powerplay goal and it's 1:1! Assists- Alexey Tsvetkov and Nikolay Zherdev
     
    15:00
    It was a SKA five on three but now it's Dynamo who have such an advantage! Jimmie Ericsson of the visitors has been punished for holding his opponent now!
     
    13:58
    The referees just cannot stop blowing their whistles! Here's another penalty, and this time it's against the visitors as Viktor Tikhonov hooks his opponent
     
    13:32
    Gorovikov! A shocking Ilya Kovalchuk mistake on Dynamo's blue line lets Konstantin Gorovikov in one on one, but going blocker side Alexander Salak makes a fantastic save to deny him!
     
    12:58
    That has very promptly turned into a SKA five on three! Dynamo are making life rather hard for themselves here as forward Kaspars Daugavins has been penalised for tripping, and it's a great opportunity for SKA to double their money!
     
    12:37
    Just as the visitors came back to full strength they have been gifted their second man's advantage of the day! Nikolay Zherdev of Dynamo has been called for tripping, as the penalties keep on coming!
     
    11:44
    Babenko! And there almost was that equaliser! Yury Babenko glides all the way on to the tip of the slot with no challenge arriving, but he lashes it wide of the right post! He had to hit the target!
     
    10:04
    But Dynamo have a fantastic chance to immediately get back on level terms, as SKA's captain Ilya Kovalchuk has been found guilty of tripping! It's a fast and furious start here!
     
    09:01
    Goal for SKA!
    They're threat has been growing and there is the opening goal! All alone at the blue line ANDREY KUTEIKIN slaps as hard as he can, and it beats Alexander Yeryomenko! Powerplay goal and it's 0:1! Assists- Artemiy Panarin
     
    07:46
    But the numbers have been evened up here! Dynamo's Maxim Solovyov for holding has also been punished, and in just a few seconds it will be a SKA powerplay as they keep the puck deep inside the attacking zone!
     
    06:02
    Just as Denis Mosalyov twists on the doorstep again from the right flank the first penalty has been called and it's against SKA, as Dmitriy Kalinin has been penalised for holding
     
    02:03
    Karsums! Immediately Dynamo get started on the front foot as Martins Karsums charges in from deep, swings to the right of the slot but he's knocked off the puck at the vital moment!
