Friday 20.02.2015, 17:30 • Arena Mytishchi • KHL
     
    59:52
    With only eight seconds remaining a timeout has now been taken by Atlant! Concentration is the main thing for them now!
     
    59:17
    As Atlant come back to full strength SKA have called a timeout, they have just over half a minute to force this one into overtime!
     
    58:53
    And Ilya Ezhov has now been pulled for the extra skater! It's their final roll of the dice now!
     
    57:16
    Oh dear, what a needless penalty has been taken by Atlant! This could prove costly! Forward Artyom Chernov has been punished for holding, and SKA have been gifted a huge opportunity to get back on terms!
     
    49:52
    Atte Engren is making some heroic saves in Atlant's net, he's seriously on form so far! However for high sticking, Vadim Khlopotov of the hosts has been penalised
     
    43:50
    Goal for Atlant!
    There is that opening goal, at last! With Vadim Shipachyov having been taken out IGOR LEVITSKIY is free to skate to the crease from the left, and he beats the netminder five hole! It's 1:0! Assists- Artyom Chernov and Vitaliy Novopashin
     
    39:37
    Just as the second frame is drawing to a close SKA have taken another penalty, as Nikolay Belov has been found guilty of tripping
     
    37:54
    The puck is being played pinball with on SKA's crease, several attempts are wristed, and in the end Ilya Ezhov traps it between his pads to cover! Atlant are putting on the pressure hard!
     
    36:06
    The hosts will have a powerplay now though, as for slashing Dmitriy Kalinin has been handed a two minute minor
     
    35:09
    Wow, that was a controversial moment! Ilya Ezhov keeps out a one on one, and the rebound is potted to the joy of the Arena Mytishchi! But no! Much to the dismay of the home fans it's been ruled out for interference against the SKA goaltender!
     
    22:23
    Shmelyov! It was Atlant's best chance of the day so far! Sergey Shmelyov is free to the left of the slot, wrists near corner, and Ilya Ezhov gets something on it to keep it out!
     
    21:08
    It's going to be a four on four hockey game now for a while, as Albert Yarullin of Atlant has been penalised for hooking, with SKA's Patrick Thoresen also being called as a result of high sticking
     
    20:25
    Kovalchuk! That was so close immediately! Ilya Kovalchuk speeds down the left, and smacks the near post! The netminder was helpless!
     
    10:01
    Shipachyov! Even on the penalty kill SKA had a golden chance to take the lead! It's a two on one, Evgeniy Ketov on the right feeds Vadim Shipachyov far post, and his effort from an awkward angle is stoned by Atte Engren!
     
    09:35
    We now have the first penalty of the game and it's gone against the visitors, as young defenceman Andrey Ermakov for throwing his stick illegally
