		There was a major penalty called there and Stefan Diezi is out of the game, although I don't know exactly what for and there are no announcements here. I will try to find this information during the break.
		Anyway, for most of the 2nd period Zurich was probably regretting all of their missed opportunities, but they scored twice at the end and now lead 3-1 after 40 minutes. 3rd period begins at 9:34.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.

	58:15	Scramble around the net, puck loose and Raz down, but nobody can sweep it in.
	58:43	Goal for Zürich! There was a wild scramble around the net and finally the puck was put in, although from here it's difficult to see who it was, but NILS PFISTER was whacking away at it at the side of the net. It's a power-play goal and they'll remain on the power play for another :31.
	59:21	Okanagan back at full strength, goalie out, Stambolidis's slapper is caught by Werren.
