    57:39
    SKA have now burst their own bubble though, as forward Jimme Ericsson has let his team down for holding in the attacking zone
     
    56:05
    However immediately after that goal SKA have been given a massively important powerplay! Away forward Kirill Petrov has been punished for tripping, and the wind has been taken out of their sails!
     
    39:05
    Chudinov! Maxim Chudinov winds up for a huge slapper, and Anders Nilsson fields it with confidence! And yet another silly penalty has been taken by the Ak Bars, with Vladimir Denisov make it a SKA five on three as a result of roughing!
     
    38:25
    The visitors have taken a very unneeded penalty here just as they were finding some more openings, as Artyom Lukoyanov has been called for cross checking
     
    29:26
    And the hosts have taken another rather needless penalty, with Artemiy Panarin being found guilty of holding the stick
     
    21:08
    Early on in the period Ak Bars have been handed a useful powerplay, as Swedish SKA forward Jimmie Ericsson has been punished for holding directly under the referee's nose
     
    17:28
    SKA however have been caught out pressing too hard, as they've been spotted to having had too many men on the ice. Forward Anton Burdasov will sit this one out for his team
     
    12:06
    The referee has his arm up again and SKA have been gifted their second powerplay already, with Ak Bars' Konstantin Koltsov being penalised for slashing
     
    05:20
    We do now however have our first penalty of the day and it's against the visitors, as their captain Alexander Svitov has been called for tripping
