    56:28
    Once again it's going to be a four on four for a couple of minutes, as Dmitry Yudin and Igor Volkov have been sent for a sit down as a result of pushing each other around with feeling
     
    48:04
    Both sides have seen their penalties run to their end, and it's a full strength hockey game again. However is was that way for less than a minute! Now CSKA's Igor Grigorenko has been caught tripping Jimmie Ericsson up
     
    45:02
    That SKA powerplay didn't last long though, and Swedish SKA forward Jimmie Ericsson has evened the numbers out for tripping
     
    44:48
    Just as they were building up ahead of steam CSKA have taken yet another stupid penalty, as they have been spotted for having too many men on the ice! Their captain Alexander Radulov will take a seat for his side for these two minutes
     
    42:23
    The hosts couldn't find too many shooting opportunities during that time, and CSKA will be happy to be back at full strength. And almost immediately they have been gifted a powerplay of their own, with SKA defenceman Maxim Chudinov being penalised for interference
     
    38:02
    Just how many stupid penalties do CSKA want to take today! This time it's also not just a minor one, as Mikhail Naumenkov has been slapped with a 2+2 penalty for tripping and cross checking in the same play!
     
    35:53
    Panarin! Artemiy Panarin loses his marker breaking in from deep, and when almost one on one he wrists into Kevin Lalande's five hole! That was a tough first save for CSKA's new goaltender to make!
     
    33:53
    Both teams are going to have one player short here as CSKA are trying to wind up their confident opponents, and Mikhail Naumenkov of the visitors and SKA's Alexey Ponikarovskiy have been called for roughing
     
    31:19
    Now it's SKA who have been given a man's advantage again, as the quite all over the place CSKA's Nikita Zaitsev has been spotted as to have had his stick too high
     
    28:03
    SKA have however in the end given up a penalty, as Maxim Chudinov has been punished for holding directly under the referee's nose
     
    25:17
    A penalty has now been called against CSKA just as I was saying that, with Mikhail Naumenkov being punished fro high sticking. They can't keep put of the penalty box today!
     
    20:01
    As we get underway here in the second stanza a very interesting penalty has been called against CSKA, as for delaying the game somewhere they have been penalised! Young forward Maxim Mamin will sit this one out for his team
     
    19:06
    Now however it's SKA who will be on the penalty kill, as defenceman Dinar Khafizullin has been found guilty of tripping
     
    16:11
    The visitors really are losing their discipline today as another penalty has been indicated, with forward Jan Mursak being the guilty party for hooking
     
    09:21
    The referee has his arm up again and it's for a penalty against CSKA for the second time, as forward Evgeniy Artyukhin has been penalised for roughing
     
    02:37
    Only two minutes in and we already have the first penalty of the day, as CSKA's Igor Makarov has been called for cross checking against his opponent
