It appears that Minsk will begin the period on the power play, as a minor penalty for kneeing was called against Sparta's Matous Horsky as the second period expired.
Overall, that was a much better period for Minsk, who were in a big hole early in the first period. They kept Sparta at bay for much of the period, though Pekarsky did make a couple of big saves as well, but near the end of the period, a lucky bounce puts Sparta up by 4 after two periods.

Start of 2nd period.
The teams are on the ice and the 2nd period will start shortly. Minsk begin the period on the power play for another 1:52.
Sparta scored 3 goals in the first 8 minutes and it looked like the score could get really ugly in this one. They had chances to add to the lead since then, but botched a couple of glorious chances on their own, and also Sergei Pekarsky made quite a few saves.

02:14
