The Russian power play wastes little time to cash in and take a stranglehold of this game. Ilya Kovalchuk slides it across to ALEXANDER RADULOV, who makes this a 2-goal game. Assist: Ilya Kovalchuk.
There was an extended scramble in the US crease but Bishop, who's been brilliant, was not able to cover it and finally it was YEVGENI MEDVEDEV who slid the puck under the mess and in. Assists: Sergei Mozyakin, Alexei Tereshenko.
