    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Sparta Prague 11 (42), Ocelari Trinec 3 (18).

    A dominant performance by Sparta, but it took a late penalty shot goal by Peter Jansky to finally give them some breathing room. This series now heads back to Trinec for game 7 on Wednesday--check back here for live coverage. (21:55:37)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:47
    We also have a Trinec penalty on the play, Daniel Rakos for crosschecking, though it makes little difference at this point.
     
    59:47
    Icing Sparta. Trinec has not pulled the goalie even when they had possession nor called a timeout. Looks like they're conceding defeat.
     
    59:05
    Offside Trinec.
     
    58:20
    Sparta 2-on-1, but Petr Ton makes the smart play and shoots--pass might have been a better chance to score, but not as risky for a turnover.
     
    57:39
    Puck deflected out of play, another faceoff upcoming in the Sparta zone.
     
    57:34
    Icing Sparta.
     
    57:28
    Offside Trinec.
     
    57:18
    Hrubec makes another save, he's made a lot tonight, and we have a faceoff in the Trinec zone.
     
    57:00
    Shot from the point by Zib hits a body in front and goes out of play. Faceoff in the Sparta zone.

    The Sparta fans, nervous for a while, now anticipate victory with a late 2-goal lead and this building is rocking.
     
    56:54
    Icing Sparta, as Trinec is back at full strength.
     
    56:20
    Radek Phillip rips a shot that hits the goalpost and goes out of play. Faceoff outside.
     
    55:59
    Sicak with a shot from the point, Hrubec holds on with :43 left in the penalty.
     
    55:07
    Trinec gets a chance right off the draw though, and Marek Pinc makes a great glove save off of Erik Hrna.
     
    55:01
    Goal for Sparta Prague!
    PETER JANSKY goes high glove side, just under the bar, to make it 3-1. There's still 1:41 left in the Sparta powerplay, so right now they're looking in good position to win this game.
     
    55:01
    Sparta is getting a penalty shot as a Trinec penalty killer threw a stick with play in the zone. Peter Jansky will take the shot.
     
    54:15
    Hrubec covers the puck again. 2:27 left in the major penalty to Roth.
     
    53:50
    Great chance in front for Krstev, his one-timer hits Hrubec on the shoulder as he was on his way down. Play continues.
     
    53:13
    Hrubec covers the puck with 3:29 left in the major penalty.
