    55:22
    Kuteikin! It's a SKA three on one on the right wing, it's moved back to Andrey Kuteikin steaming down the centre, and h's one timer is denied by the sprawling Ivan Kasutin!
     
    50:57
    A timeout has now been taken by SKA, they are in a bit of trouble now and need to do something to change the tide!
     
    50:57
    Goal for Torpedo!
    This one has been counted now! A loose rebound falls to the right wing, and JARKKO IMMONEN wrists past the stranded Mikko Koskinen! It's 6:3!
     
    50:11
    Vadim Krasnoslobodtsev forces the puck over the line when on a shorthanded rush! But no, it's been ruled off for having too many players on the crease in front of the netminder! Head Torpedo coach Peteris Skudra isn't happy about that!
     
    48:36
    A penalty has been called against Torpedo here, and forward Alexey Potapov has been handed an untimely two minute minor for roughing
     
    47:05
    All of a sudden panic seems to have come over SKA! The defence is all over the place, Mikko Koskinen is sliding about, and glove side Vadim Krasnoslobodtsev misses an already empty net from point blank range!
     
    45:41
    Goal for Torpedo!
    Torpedo have been rewarded for keeping the puck deep inside SKA's zone! It's played across from an awkward angle on the right, and WOJTECH WOLSKI bats it down and in! It's 6:2!
     
    39:47
    Goal for SKA!
    It really could end up to be any sort of score today! Behind the net EVGENIY DADONOV holds up the puck, slides it back, and glove side it takes a killer deflection deceiving Ivan Kasutin! It's 6:1!
     
    39:00
    And for roughing in the aftermath Wojtech Wolski along with young SKA defenceman Dmitry Yudin is on his way to the penalty box
     
    33:06
    Goal for SKA!
    That is surely that today! Maxim Chudinov wonderfully finds JIMMIE ERICSSON's stick on the slot, and the latter equally perfectly tips in! Powerplay goal and it's 5:1! Assists- Patrick Thoresen and Maxim Chudinov
     
    31:29
    Only seconds after coming back to full strength Torpedo have taken another needless penalty, as for interference Vladimir Malevich has been called
     
    29:11
    Torpedo are now going to have to be with only four players, as Dmitriy Kazionov has been hit by the referees for cross checking
     
    28:13
    Wolski! Wojtech Wolski slaps when bursting down the right wing, and as it threatens to get away from him Mikko Koskinen covers it up just in time! And for a bust up following that, SKA's Andrey Kuteikin and Vali Matti Savinainen of Torpedo have both been sent to the penalty box
     
    26:15
    However the referee has his arm up for a penalty against the on fire hosts, as defenceman Yury Alexandrov has been found guilty of hooking
     
    23:24
    Goal for SKA!
    That is a very important goal for SKA who were coming under pressure! Lengthy build up play is finished off by ROMAN CERVENKA on the left faceoff circle, and he quite beautifully wrists into the far corner! Powerplay goal and it's 4:1!
     
    21:59
    The visitors have taken all the wind out of their own sails now however, as Denis Kazionov for interference while attacking has been penalised
     
    19:23
    Goal for Torpedo!
    As that penalty was coming to an end Torpedo strike what could be a vital marker! JARKKO IMMONEN is found on the doorstep, and he brilliantly one times into the net! Powerplay goal and it's 3:1! Assists- Wojtech Wolski and Sakari Salminen
     
    17:35
    Out of virtually nothing SKA have picked up a penalty, as for high sticking forward Viktor Tikhonov has been punished! It's a great chance for Torpedo to get on the board!
     
    14:23
    Ivan Kasutin makes his first save now, and what a save! A huge goalmouth scramble erupts, and Anton Burdasov's backhanded rebound is somehow swept away by the netminder!
     
    10:26
    On that note Torpedo have taken a well needed timeout, with netminder Evgeniy Biryukov now being pulled for Ivan Kasutin! He had a personal nightmare during those minutes!
     
    10:26
    Goal for SKA!
    Is this game already out of sight? ILYA KABLUKOV squeezes in from the right to the middle, and near post catches Evgeniy Biryukov unawares! It's 3:0! Assists- Anton Burdasov
     
    07:22
    The visitors simply aren't learning their lesson at all, as now for interference again Torpedo Artyom Alyaev has handed SKA another man's advantage to keep the heat on!
     
    05:19
    Goal for SKA!
    SKA are most certainly rolling now! Patrick Thoresen feeds TONY MARTENSSON alone by the left hand post, and the latter makes no mistake! Powerplay goal and it's 2:0! Assists- Patrick Thoresen
     
    03:50
    Kuteikin! That was a gaping opportunity! Andrey Kuteikin is open between the circles, wrists as hard as he can, and he misses the left corner by inches!
     
    03:18
    We already have the first penalty and it's against the under pressure Torpedo, as Dmitriy Kazionov has been called for interference
     
    01:09
    Goal for SKA!
    Wow, what a start for SKA! That's what they would have dreamed about! VADIM SHIPACHYOV is all alone just past the blue line, and he thrashes it over the goalkeeper's left pad and in! It's 1:0! Assists- Evgeniy Dadonov and Andrey Kuteikin
