    58:08
    That might just be all she wrote. Filip Adamcik takes a two minute hooking penalty with 1:52 left to go in the third period.
     
    53:12
    Great powerplay movement by the Slovaks. The puck is worked behind the goal and then Ladislav Romancik is given the puck skating in the puck, but a great pad stop by Korobov denies the Slovak defenceman.
     
    47:22
    A hard knee on knee hit by Adrian Holesinsky sends Eduard Nasybullin crashing to the ice and he's slow to get up. Holesinsky is sent straight to the locker room, while Nasybullin is helped off the ice by his teammates.
     
    42:31
    Penalty to Russia. Kirill Pilipenko gets a two minute penalty for hooking.
     
    38:20
    Goal for Team Russia! He was denied on an earlier penalty shot attempt, but this time KIRILL PILIPENKO makes no mistake, receiving the stretch pass, walking in alone on Pajpach going backhand to forehand and putting the puck into the top left corner
     
    29:56
    Another golden chance for Russia, as Ivan Nikolishin has the puck on his stick in the slot, but a last gasp block by Ladislav Romancik saves the day.
     
    28:12
    Russia are easily able to kill an Ivan Nikolishin penalty.
     
    26:00
    A calamitous giveaway in their own zone gives Simon Petras a breakaway opportunity, but Korobov makes a fine pad stop.
     
    25:17
    Goal for Team Russia! It was coming, as Russia's pressure eventually yields a dividend. Maximillian Pajpach was able to make the first stop, but the rebound at the back door was put away by MAXIM LAZAREV.
     
    24:01
    Slovakia end up taking a penalty as a result of the sustained Russian pressure.
     
    23:31
    On the same shift, Pajpach is forced to make another great save, sprawling across his crease to deny an Ivan Nikolishin one timer with his left pad.
     
    22:48
    Russia go very close to equalising almost instantly. Artur Boltanov gets the first shot away which Pajpach stops with the glove but fails to catch. Russia get two more bites at the cherry before Pajpach manages to freeze the puck.
     
    21:09
    Goal for Team Slovakia! The home side takes the lead, and boy are they happy to do so! MARCO HALAMA is the man who lights the lamp, scoring from in close
     
    07:52
    Kirill Pilipenko is hauled down on the breakaway, and gets the penalty shot. He head fakes and moves to the back hand but Pajpach manages to get his glove to the shot.
     
    07:52
    Penalty shot for Russia!
     
    01:06
    Penalty against Slovakia. Matej Palocko, two minutes for holding.
