Tuesday 18.11.2014, 11:00 • Fetisov Arena • KHL
     
    59:29
    As a last throw of the dice Admiral have pulled Ilya Proskuryakov in favour of the extra skater!
     
    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
     
    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
     
    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!
     
    45:02
    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
     
    42:28
    Ugarov! How many chances do Admiral want to get on the board! Standing on the doorstep Alexey Ugarov is dished from an awkward angle on the left, and instead of scoring he smacks Alexander Pechurskiy's pads! You can let such chances go to waste!
     
    40:41
    We have an early period penalty and it's against Metallurg, as for interference forward Denis Platonov has been sent for a two minute sit down
     
    36:42
    The visitors are getting into slight penalty trouble here, as now Chris Lee is the next to be punished, this time for holding
     
    34:41
    Gynge! That was a seriously good chance for Admiral to make things interesting, as when alone between the circles Richard Gynge gets his effort all wrong! He had to do better there!
     
    32:57
    They have been given a powerplay to give their fans something to cheer about though, as Metallurg have been called for having too many men on the ice. Defenceman Bogdan Potekhin will sit this one out for his team
     
    30:50
    Goal for Metallurg!
    Metallurg are beginning to pull away now! EVGENIY BIRYUKOV skating out to the left hand boards takes on a hopeful wrister from distance, and it catches the goalkeeper completely unawares floating past him! It's 0:3! Assists- Danis Zaripov
     
    25:03
    Goal for Metallurg!
    There had been a feeling that the second was coming! Chris Lee thumps a heavy slapper high into the boards, and lurking by the left hand post JAN KOVAR is free to hit the net! It's 0:2! Assists- Chris Lee and Sergey Mozyakin
     
    22:25
    And Metallurg have been handed a very useful powerplay chance here, as Admiral forward Felix Schutz has been handed a two minute minor for roughing
     
    19:54
    Lisin! Just how didn't he hit the net! Clever and patient build up play tees up Enver Lisin directly on the left hand post, but he contrives to hack it wide of the near corner! And it's now the final seconds of a high tempo first period!
     
    18:53
    Despite conceding such a disappointing goal Admiral have been gifted a perfect opportunity to get back on level terms, as for hooking Oskar Osala of the visitors has been penalised!
     
    18:51
    Goal for Metallurg!
    Just as that penalty was about to expire Metallurg have got on the board! An almighty goalmouth scramble erupts, and as it spins back across the crease from the left DENIS PLATONOV squeezes it over the line! Powerplay goal and it's 0:1! Assists- Maxim Yakutsenya and Tim Brent
     
    16:52
    Now it's Metallurg turn to have a man's advantage, as Admiral forward Richard Gynge has been sent to the penalty box for slashing
     
    12:35
    Makarov! That was a real opportunity to give Admiral the lead! Off a strong slapshot Konstantin Makarov can only tip the puck inches wide of the left post, and on the following wraparound attempt Alexander Pechurskiy is alert glove side!
     
    11:17
    We have the first powerplay of the day and it's going to the hosts, as Metallurg's Oskar Osala has been found guilty of hooking
     
    04:55
    Up steps Maxim Yakutsenya, goes with the backhand, but Ilya Proskuryakov shuts the five hole in time! We play on at 0:0
     
    04:55
    Out of virtually nothing Metallurg have a penalty shot! Admiral forward Andrey Sigaryov has been punished for fouling Maxim Yakutsenya, and the referees haven't let him get away with that!
