KHL Western Conference Semifinals Day 5 2014

Two games on today as the series are both very tight. We begin in...

St. Petersburg, as SKA hosts Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Curtis Sanford and Alexander Salak are between the pipes. St. Petersburg got going in the second period with a Kevin Dallman power play goal, powered by Roman Cervenka and Patrick Thoresen. Yaroslavl tied it on an Ilya Gorokhov power play goal, assisted by Mikelis Redlihs and Sergei Konkov. Lokomotiv took the lead on an Emil Galimov goal, with a lone assist by Yury Petrov. Yaroslavl added on in the third period with a Yegor Averin goal, via Sergei Plotnikov on the power play. SKA got one back as Thoresen scored a shorthanded goal, set up by Dmitry Kalinin and Cervenka. They failed to tie it, losing 3-2, with the three stars going to Averin, Thoresen, and Cervenka. Lokomotiv leads the series 3-2.

The other game is once again in Bratislava, but this time Lev Prague hosts Donbass Donetsk as Lev's arena was booked for today. Michael Leighton and Petri Vehanen draw the starts. Prague opened in the first period with a Michal Repik goal, made possible by Michal Birner. Lev added on as Patrik Zackrisson scored, thanks to Justin Azevedo. Donetsk got on the board in the second period with a Dmitry Kagarlitsky goal, via Andrei Konev. Prague finished it at 3-1 in the third period with an empty net goal by Zackrisson, set up by Repik. The three stars were Zackrisson, Vehanen (26 for 27 in saves), and Repik. Lev owns a 3-2 series lead with this win.
