    65:00 VIRTANEN - 1:2
     
    65:00
    TPS Turku has won after the penalty shoot-out.
    The winning goal scored by VIRTANEN.
     
    Roman Will goes in instead of Ján Lašák.
    53:59 MOJŽÍŠ - 1:1
     
    53:59
    Goal for Liberec!
    And the score is tied! Liberec has come back into the game thanks to a goal by TOMÁŠ MOJŽÍŠ who found a lot of open space in the Turku zone and beat Setanen with a beautiful shot from the slot. Assisted by Jelínek and Radivojevič.
     
    51:58
    More rough stuff out there, Vantuch and Kojo both get coincidental penalties.
     
    47:47
    Tempers flare and Vlach with Keskitalo receive two minutes each for roughing following a skirmish in front of Setanen.
     
    47:32
    Lašák went behind his own net and initiated contact with Ahtola, which is called an interference by the referee. Two minutes and a TPS powerplay likely coming up soon.
     
    45:57
    The powerplay will go on. Forsström is heading back to the box after a tripping infraction on Mojžíš.
     
    44:01
    Just what the doctor ordered for the Tigers, Tallinder gets two minutes for interference.
     
    38:49
    Ondřej Vitásek gets the home team in a little trouble as he heads to the penalty box for interference.
     
    34:33
    And for the third time tonight, the sound of the puck hitting the crossbar sounds through the arena as Perrin beat Lašák but not the goal itself.
     
    30:40
    Forsström is heading back to what appears to be his favorite place in the arena as he gets two for holding. Liberec with the man advantage.
     
    24:53
    And the ref says no goal, TPS keeps the one-goal lead.
     
    24:53
    Stránský got the puck into the back of the goal, but it appears that he did so with the high stick. The referee will take a look at it on the video.
     
    22:43
    Jelínek might have just saved the visitors as he tripped an opponent and sends his team to four men.
     
    22:23
    Quick shot by Radivojevič stamps the crossbar, but stays out of the net!
     
    22:14
    Forsström receives two minutes for holding and his team will have to defend in three men on the ice.
     
    19:56
    In dying seconds of the first period, Henrik Tallinder is awarded a double minor for high-sticking. Powerplay coming up for Liberec.
     
    15:57
    Nice shot by Jánošík was tipped in front and hit the crossbar of the TPS goal, the rebound got to Ševc who, however, couldn't beat Setanen who is still holding on to his shutout bid late in the opening frame.
     
    09:58
    Markus Kojo gives Liberec a chance to score as his high-sticking was seen as a minor-worthy infraction by the referee.
     
    08:33
    Four on four hockey coming up, Michal Bulíř gets a minor penalty for hooking.
     
    07:45
    Penalty coming up for Liberec, Jani Forsström gets two minutes for slashing.
    07:13 VIRTA - 0:1
     
    07:13
    Goal for TPS!
    A beautiful goal to open the scoring tonight in favor of the visiting team! The former NHLer Henrik Tallinder made an exceptional pass to PATRIK VIRTA who received it behind the enemy defensive lines and faced Lašák one on one, beating the Slovak goalie with a well-executed forehand move. Assisted by Tallinder.
     
    04:34
    Setanen wasn't able to swallow a shot by Šimek, but he also blocked the rebound chance by Bližňák who could open the scoring if it wasn't for the good follow-up save.
     
    01:34
    Too many men on the ice for Liberec, Mário Bližňák will head to the box to serve the minor.
