Begin of game
Starting lineups for teams:
Slovan: GK Vojvoda, LD Bacik, RD Sersen, LW Liska, C Sukel, RW Jeglic
Jokerit: GK Zapolksi, LD Lööv, RD Grant, LW Vesalainen, C Manninen, RW O´Neill
Bailey is not on the ice during warmup. I wonder if he dresses as a goalkeeper at all or is he just named for a substitute and dresses if needed.
Roster of Slovan is interesting. They have just 15 skaters and substitute goalkeeper is #25 Casey Bailey, who usually plays as forward. Let"s hope he is not needed as a goalkeeper tonight.
Jokerit meets Slovan from Bratislava. Slovan is the last team in KHL rankings and Jokerit will be fourth on west and starts play offs at home next week.
