Torpedo's coach also out with game miscondut penalty. He was showing that there was diving...

Five minute penalty is served by 52, Nikolai Zherdev.

Some big hit on the ice and Jokerit player is down. Neither of refs saw that, hopefully linesman tells that there needs to be big penalty.

Begin of 3 period

Third period starts soon. Jokerit needs to get their playing better if they want to win this game.

Frolov at the net, Karlsson holds Jokerit in the game.

Weird moment to take timeout. Maybe since Torpedo just iced the puck and needed some rest...

Timeout. Torpedo.

Zherdev was all alone at hashmarks and got a good shot. And into the net it went.

Just learned, one of our statistic guys has his 50th birthday today. Gongrats to him.

Begin of 2 period

What to say of first period... Both teams had their moments. Torpedo was better to the first goal. Jokerit got their play together after Torpedo goal and the end of the period was Jokerit's.

Regin had a great spot just seconds before the period ended. Somehow he got the puck past the net.

Sallinen passes puck to the net, Torpedo's defender almost plays the puck into the own net.

Game flows from one end to another end, nothing to report so far.

Game is on and first whistle is offside after eight seconds.
