Wednesday 11.02.2015, 17:30 • Ice Palace of Saint Petersburg • KHL
     
    55:55
    Evgeniy Dadonov is completely taken out here, that looked painful! Dinamo can't hide their frustration as star forward Lauris Darzins has indeed been sent to the penalty box for interference
     
    50:59
    Dinamo are in danger of going under now, they cannot cope at all with the immense pressure that they are coming under! And forward Martins Cipulis has taken a needless penalty for roughing, and in reaction the Dinamo fans inside the ground have turned their back to the ice!
     
    39:16
    It's a penalty shot for Dinamo! Maxim Chudinov tipped Gints Meija down when he was bursting away, and the referee has indicated a penalty shot!
     
    37:09
    And SKA have been gifted a promising powerplay opportunity! Dinamo's Kristaps Redlihs has been called for interference, and in doing so has made life harder for his side!
     
    34:55
    And we have a fight on our hands! SKA's fired up captain fully goes at it against Charles Genoway of Dinamo, and it's once again Dinamo who will have a man's advantage as Ilya Kovalchuk has also been penalised for kneeing!
     
    30:34
    The rampant hosts have drawn a second penalty from Dinamo here, as for tripping against Vadim Shipachyov Kaspars Saulietis has been sent for a two minute sit down
     
    27:20
    In the aftermath of that attempt SKA's captain dropped the gloves with Kristaps Redlihs, and Ilya Kovalchuk has been handed four minutes making it an important Dinamo powerplay!
     
    16:15
    The hosts really are ragged at the back, and after yet another poor error a penalty has been taken! And again it's Yury Alexandrov, as he is punished for tripping
     
    10:09
    However Dinamo have taken the wind out of their own sails, as Andris Dzerins has been penalised for delaying the game! It's an ideal chance for SKA to create pressure!
     
    03:10
    The first penalty has been called here and it's against SKA, as defenceman Yury Alexandrov has been found guilty of tripping
