    There indeed is the final buzzer, and Dynamo Moscow have beaten SKA Saint Petersburg 4:1 to hand the hosts their second home defeat of the campaign! SKA had all the chances, but Dynamo were super effective with their own. Konstantin Gorovikos, Andrey Mironov, Alexander Osipov and Martins Karsums all struck for the visitors, while Alexander Barabanov replied for SKA. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more exciting KHL action! (20:04:14)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:54
    We have a couple of final penalties though, as for roughing SKA's Viktor Tikhonov has been called as well as Alexander Osipov of Dynamo
     
    59:42
    The final seconds are now upon us with Dynamo sailing to an impressive 4:1 triumph on the road!
     
    59:02
    Roman Rukavishnikov absolutely blasts the puck on target from the blue line, and Alexander Yeryomenko fields it well to snuff out the danger
     
    58:02
    SKA to their credit are still pressing, but so far without any reward. Their head coach will have a lot of questions to answer to afterwards!
     
    56:23
    The Saint Petersburg Ice Palace has fallen completely silent, their team has been dealt a true lesson by Dynamo today! The visitors have been ruthless with just about every chance that they have had!
     
    54:12
    Goal for Dynamo!
    That should be that now! MARTINS KARSUMS skating on to the doorstep is fed, and he neatly tucks it high into the right hand corner! Powerplay goal and it's 1:4! Assists- Nikolay Zherdev
     
    53:53
    SKA's captain Ilya Kovalchuk isn't having his best day at all and he has taken another needless penalty making his team's task all the more difficult, as he has been punished for slashing
     
    52:17
    The action has dried up somewhat with the hosts not creating anything at all, all of their passes at neutral ice are being cut out quite easily by Dynamo
     
    49:26
    And the visitors now have a fourth! Or don't they? Nikolay Zherdev standing directly in front of Evgeniy Ivannikov is adjudged to having illegally distratced the goalkeeper, and we play on still at 1:3!
     
    48:52
    Dynamo are doing an excellent job at the moment of taking the sting out of things, SKA are finding it hard to get out of their own zone
     
    45:31
    Nikolay Zherdev attempts to give his team a bit of respite, as taking up a very promising rebound he has his attempt deflected up and out of play! A fourth would surely be fatal!
     
    44:06
    Alexandrov! How many opportunities do SKA need! Yury Alexandrov is dished crashing to the doorstep from deep, but he contrives to poke wide of the open left hand corner! It seemed impossible to not hit the target!
     
    42:59
    The puck is dumped on towards the pacy Evgeniy Ketov, but he just can't catch up with it before the Dynamo netminder can. Dynamo seem very happy at the moment to just guard their defensive line!
     
    41:13
    Roman Cervenka piles down the left flank, and when outpacing defenceman Andrey Mironov wrists hard into Alexander Yeryomenko's chest who does well to field
     
    40:36
    Both teams are now at full strength as the crucial period has begun! SKA will still believe that they can get something out of this!
     
    40:01
