Metallurg Novokuznetsk
Friday 06.02.2015, 17:00 • Ice Palace of Cherepovets • KHL
     
    59:28
    Metallurg defenceman Kayde Fairchild all of sudden finds himself one on one, he sharply goes blocker side, and Jakub Stepanek comes up with a huge save to keep his shutout intact!
     
    58:21
    Galimov! That's the first true Metallurg chance for a very, very long time! A loose Severstal lets in Ansel Galimov, and his screamer of a wrist shot clatters into the boards!
     
    55:08
    Buchnevich! Again he's at the heart of the action! Pavel Buchnevich takes on the entire Metallurg defence, takes a slash when skating down, and it whistles past the right post!
     
    52:43
    Mons! Sergey Monakhov displays his physical strength on the left, picks out Evgeniy Mons on the tip of the slot, and the latter one times it into Rafael Khakimov's chest!
     
    49:36
    Goal for Severstal!
    They most certainly have deserved that! Anatoliy Nikontsev battles for the puck against the right boards, squares it, and SERGEY MONAKHOV clinically finds the net! It's 3:0! Assists- Anatoliy Nikontsev
     
    45:13
    Metallurg netminder Rafael Khakimov is rolling around in pain, and indeed Severstal forward Evgeniy Mons has equalled the numbers up as a result of tripping
     
    44:48
    The heat is building inside Metallurg's zone, and they have been forced into taking a penalty as Nikita Khlystov has been called for tripping
     
    42:57
    Sergey Monakhov thrashes in a wraparound attempt by the right post, and despite the goal horn going off the referees wave play on! The home fans are up on their feet about that!
     
    39:30
    Virtually out of nothing a fight begins next to Severstal's bench! Metallurg's Nikita Kamalov throws off his gloves with Nikolay Kazakovtsev of Severstal, and both are off to the penalty box for that!
     
    38:41
    Kagarlitskiy! What a brilliant chance to score the third! A terrible turnover lets in Dmitriy Kagarlitskiy slightly to the right, and Rafael Khakimov makes an expert glove save to shut him down!
     
    32:04
    A foul has unsurprisingly been found during that play, and for tripping Metallurg's Nikita Khlystov has made his team's task a lot harder!
     
    32:04
    Buchnevich! Pavel Buchnevich glove side brilliantly cuts to the crease, and just as he's shaping to shoot he roughly barged off the puck! It could have been three just like that!
     
    31:20
    Goal for Severstal!
    That will make them feel more at ease! Metallurg's defence goes missing as it's a Severstal two on one down the right, and far post ANATOLIY NIKONTSEV makes no mistake! It's 2:0! Assists- Nikolay Stasenko and Vadim Berdnikov
     
    27:24
    They have taken a rather untimely penalty here though, as for hooking defenceman Ilya Khokhlov has been penalised
     
    23:58
    Romanov! That was an ideal opportunity to get Metallurg on the board! Off a clever dish from the left wing Alexander Romanov is clean through, however he can't take the puck under his spell and the moment is lost!
     
    19:26
    A rather unneeded penalty has been taken by Severstal now, as Dmitriy Konev has been found guilty of high sticking against his opponent
     
    18:01
    Pyett! Nikolay Kazakovtsev powers behind the net on the right, swings it to the doorstep, and on a juicy rebound Logan Pyett can only find the goalkeeper's midriff!
     
    08:55
    Goal for Severstal!
    The hosts break the deadlock! Dmitriy Kagarlitskiy strips a Metallurg defenceman of the puck, pushes forward, and tees up EVGENIY MONS on the right faceoff circle to score! It's 1:0! Assists- Dmitriy Kagarlitskiy
     
    04:56
    We have the first penalty of the day here, as Metallurg's Nikita Popov has been called for interference
