    There is the final buzzer, and Metallurg Magnitogorsk have dug out a 4:2 victory over Admiral Vladivostok away from home! They had a lot of defending to do, but they finished their opportunities with real class. Denis Platonov, Jan Kovar, Evgeniy Biryukov and Oscar Osala sealed the deal for Metallurg, while Denis Kuzmin and Enver Lisin got the hosts' replies. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more thrilling KHL action! (13:23:42)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:56
    Admiral still can't get set up in the attacking zone though, and Metallurg are heading for a hard fought 4:2 victory on the road!
     
    59:29
    As a last throw of the dice Admiral have pulled Ilya Proskuryakov in favour of the extra skater!
     
    58:58
    And they are doing a brilliant job of keeping the puck deep inside Admiral's zone, the hosts can't get anywhere near it just when they are desperate to create something!
     
    58:06
    There really is very little time remaining but Metallurg won't be wanting to give Admiral any more chances before this one's out!
     
    57:05
    Goal for Admiral!
    Maybe Admiral do have a little bit of hope left! Alexander Pechurskiy can't see where the puck is as it trickles across his goal line, and ENVER LISIN reaches it first to bring the hosts back to within two! It's 2:4! Assists- Alexey Ugarov and Ilya Zubov
     
    54:40
    Goal for Metallurg!
    That should probably do it now for the visitors! The puck is pushed through the danger zone to the doorstep slightly to the left, and OSCAR OSALA pokes it home to ease the tension off his team! It's 1:4! Assists- Francis Pare and Rinat Ibragimov
     
    54:28
    With only slightly more than five minutes remaining it's a five on five hockey game again, and Metallurg are doing their job well keeping their opponents far away from their zone!
     
    53:29
    Mozyakin! Sergey Mozyakin fires in with power and accuracy from a way out, and Ilya Proskuryakov makes a flashy glove save when already sitting on his backside!
     
    53:10
    Jan Kovar waits patiently by the left of the crease, receives and turns, but he can't find a hole near post as the goalkeeper stands his ground
     
    52:28
    Icing is committed by the visitors. And for slashing during that play a penalty has been called against Admiral, with forward Andrey Sigaryov on his way to the penalty box
     
    49:24
    The hosts didn't move the puck well though during that time, and Metallurg have their full quota of players in the action again
     
    48:01
    Konstantin Sokolov prepares himself skating all around the right faceoff circle, but his eventual shot takes a number of deflections before rolling into the goalkeeper's grasp
     
    47:24
    Metallurg are making their task harder and harder as another penalty has been called against them, and for the second time in a row Rafael Batyrshin has let his team down with roughing
     
    46:01
    Khabarov! Straight away Metallurg's three goal lead could have been reinstated! On a cutting counterattack the puck is laid back to Yaroslav Khabarov just inside the zone, and his ripping wrister is stoned by Ilya Proskuryakov flashing leather!
     
    45:24
    Metallurg's head coach Mike Keenan doesn't look happy about conceding that goal at all, and Admiral will have more confidence in themselves now with just under fifteen minutes remaining!
     
    45:02
    Goal for Admiral!
    Finally Alexander Pechurskiy's shutout has been taken away! DENIS KUZMIN plays around with the puck at the blue line, and he smashes an unstoppable cannon off the left post and in! Powerplay goal and it's 1:3! Assists- Artyom Zemchenyok and Konstantin Sokolov
     
    44:05
    Tempers begin to rise here between both sets of players and Metallurg are going straight back on the penalty kill, after Rafael Batyrshin has been penalised for roughing
     
    42:41
    Admiral's powerplay just isn't working today and the visitors are back at full strength, the home fans inside the Fetisov Arena are starting to become impatient!
