Kitarov led the rush down the right wing, stopped at the hashmarks at passed across the middle to VLADIMIR DENISOV streaking in and, he beat Bobrovsky high glove side to get Belarus on the board. As badly as they've been outplayed, they're not out of this game.
Assists: Alexander Kitarov, Dmitri Koborov.
Sergei Plotnikov picks the pocket of a Belarusian player trying to break out of the zone, he then quickly spun around and sent a backhand pass to VADIM SHIPACHYOV, who chipped it in and it's 2-0. Plotnikov deserves the credit on that one.
Assist: Sergei Plotnikov.
They finally cash in on the power play. Behind the net it was Tikhonov to Shipachyov, then out front to SERGEI PLOTNIKOV, and he one-times it from the low slot through the legs of Koval to open the scoring. Power-play goal.
Assists: Vadim Shipaychov, Viktor Tikhonov.
