Teams at full strength.

Lepistö had a great opportunity, Karlsson made a game saver.

At the moment it looks like there are many more Ufa players than Jokerit players. Now there is since they have power play.

Begin of 1 period

Goalkeeper:
1. Karlsson Henrik (Jokerit).
1. Svedberg Niklas (Salavat Yulaev).

Begin of game

Ufa team officials didn't want to change Hartikainen away from defender's place so I'll have him here on starting line's defender.

Starting line ups at the moment: (I presume there will be change for Ufa's starter)

Salavat Julajev: GK Svedberg, LD Hartikainen, RD Lepistö, LW Omark, C Engqvist, RW Grigorenko

Jokerit: GK Karlsson, LD Ohtamaa, RD Lajunen, LW Hagman, C Kapanen, RW Jormakka

Salavat's roster says at the moment that Teemu Hartikainen plays as first line's defender and Loginov would be forward for 2nd line. We'll see if there going to be change for that.

Todays game is between Jokerit and Salavet Yulaev from Ufa.
