    Game over.

    58:58
    Goal for Team Canada!

    With Korobov pulled, Canada were able to win the draw. Rourke Chartier finds CLARK BISHOP and the Canada forward takes the puck up into the neutral zone and fires a shot which goes in off the post. Game, set and match Canada.
     
    Aaron Ekblad clears the puck and it goes for an icing. Russia call a time out
     
    Canada have the Russians pressed in their zone. Can't create any offence
     
    1:40 left in the third period. Confirmed by the arena announcer
     
    Russia are getting desperate. They ice the puck
     
    We're getting close to the end of the third period. Estimated around three minutes left to play.
     
    Nasybullin with a big hit on Fabbri in the corner. The Canadian forward is slow to get up. No call on the play
     
    Russia back to full strength
     
    Virtanen winds up and fires a hammer of a slapshot which just goes wise
     
    Canada hit the bar! A Mckeown point shot is deflected in front by Dal Colle but the puck rings the bar and stays out
     
    Ekblad does well joining the rush. He had Fabbri alone at the back post but tries to jam it in near post. Korobov manages to get a piece of it
     
    Bennett gets a shot away which Korobov gets a piece of with his right shoulder
     
    Penalty coming against Russia. Ilya Dervuk takes the offensive zone hooking call
     
    The Russians send the puck over the glass, but the officials rule it hit the plexi first so no penalty coming
     
    Great hands by Bennett to get past Nasybullin but he drags his shot just wide
