KHL Day 103 2013-2014

Last day before another long break, with only two games on. Neither is in Russia, as the first comes from...

Prague, as Lev hosts Slovan Bratislava. Jaroslav Janus and Petri Vehanen are set to start. Prague opened in the first period with a Jiri Sekac goal, assisted by Martin Thornberg and Ondrej Nemec. Lev added on as Jiri Novotny scored, thanks to Mikko Maenpaa. Prague extended the lead in the second period with a Novotny goal, with a lone assist by Justin Azevedo. Lev padded the lead when Michal Repik scored, with the help of Jakub Nakladal and Jakub Matai. Prague struck again with a shorthanded goal by Petr Vrana, set up by Topi Jaakola. Lev got another in the third period on a power play goal by Nathan Oystrick, powered by Maenpaa and Thornberg. Prague iced it at 7-0 with a Martin Sevc goal, fueled by Lukas Cingel and Repik. The three stars were Novotny, Repik, and Thornberg, while Maenpaa and Vehanen (14 save shutout) get honorable mentions.

The other game is in Ukraine, as Donbass Donetsk hosts Dinamo Minsk. Kevin Lalande and Michael Leighton are the North American goalies. Minsk started in the first period with an Alexei Kalyuzhny goal, fueled by Andrei Stas. Donetsk got on the board in the second period as Vaclav Nedorost scored an unassisted goal. Donbass took the lead with a Yury Silnitsky goal, coming off of Lukas Kaspar and Randy Robitaille. Donetsk added on in the third period as Kaspar scored a power play goal, powered by Robitaille. This made it 3-1, the final, with the three stars being Kaspar, Leighton (29 for 30 in saves), and Robitaille.
