    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:51
    Mikko Koskinen has been pulled for the extra skater, but it's not going to make any difference as Dynamo are heading for a dramatic 2:1 victory away from home!
     
    59:32
    Goal for Dynamo!
    Unbelieveable! Who saw that coming! SKA go missing defensively as Dynamo break away three on one, and as a goalmouth scramble erupts MAXIM KARPOV bundles it in! It's 1:2! Assists- Alexey Tvsetkov
     
    58:56
    Finally Mikko Koskinen has to do something, as he stretches to sweep up a rising wrister from just inside the attacking zone! Time is beginning to tick down now!
     
    57:23
    How many chances do SKA want! They are doing everything but scoring, they have to take advantage of at least of of them! Anton Burdasov powers around the net, and fails to hit the net when in a wonderful position!
     
    55:08
    Jimmie Ericsson twists inside his opponent moving on to the crease, feeds Tony Martensson, and the goalkeeper's pads is the only thing that keeps it out! He's working miracles for the visitors at the moment!
     
    53:44
    Panarin! Artemiy Panarin gathers up the puck on a tight angle to the left, he swings all the way around, takes aim, and is again shut down by the in form Alexander Sharychenkov!
     
    52:41
    Home goaltender Mikko Koskinen has been a complete spectator in this period so far, he has barely had a touch of the puck at all! SKA's pressure is immense, their adrenaline is visible!
     
    49:49
    Dmitriy Kalinin slaps into the netminder's glove from the high slot, and the seconds later Anton Burdasov, completing a brilliant skate from behind the net, backhands into the goalkeeper from close range! The visitors are hanging on by the skin of their teeth!
     
    48:23
    What a chance, just how didn't the puck hit the net! The puck is thrashed across the face of goal from the left flank, Maxim Chudinov takes a poke at it, and is somehow denied by Alexander Sharychenkov! Most of the crowd were already on their feet!
     
    47:27
    All the momentum is with SKA now, they're pressing seriously hard inside Dynamo's zone! The Saint Petersburg Ice Palace exploded with that goal!
     
    45:03
    Goal for SKA!
    It's most certainly been coming! An expert tricky combination play dishes the open ANDREY KUTEIKIN steaming down to the left of the crease, and he picks his spot powerfully going upstairs! It's 1:1! Assists- Patrick Thoresen
     
    44:36
    Chudinov! The chances are coming thick and fast! Maxim Chudinov works his way behind the net to the glove side, attempts to flash it across, and before it can reach its target Alexander Sharychenkov grabs it!
     
    42:35
    Apart from the chance SKA couldn't keep the puck deep inside the attacking zone for too long, and the visitors have five players in the action again
     
    41:13
    Dadonov! He simply had to hit the net! Evgeniy Dadonov is found charging to the doorstep from deep, he takes a whack at it, but takes a complete air shot when all alone!
     
    40:35
    And the hosts have been given a huge powerplay opportunity straight away, with Dynamo's Janne Jalasvaara being hit with a punishment for hooking
     
    40:06
    The third period has begun! SKA will still be full of hope trailing by only one!
