The national anthems are coming up.

That last Finnish penalty was a costly one and the Swiss cash in quickly, EDSON HARLACHER finishing the play. Assist: Pius Suter
The first penalty had ended, so teams are back to full strength.
2nd period begins at 16:16 CEST, 10:16 EDT.
Persistent pressure on the power play finally pays off. It looked like Voutilainen actually had it covered but apparently it was loose and TOBIAS KLOPFER banged it in right at the side of the net. Assist: Pius Suter.
Fehr stopped the initial one-timer from Lamsa but the whistle never went and finally the puck ends up in the net. MIKKO RANTANEN is getting credited with it. The Swiss are not happy there was no whistle but the referee indicated the puck was free. Asisst:
From the corner Kindschi finds PIUS SUTER in front of the net, who re-directs it past Voutilainen and restores Switzerland's two-goal lead. Assist: Simon Kindschi.
The Finns get a big power-play goal. Lamsa plays with the puck for a while and then finds JUHO LAMMIKKO at the far post, who puts it in to bring his team back to within one. Assists: Teemu Lamsa, Mikko Raantanen.
And just as I say that the Finns come up the ice and score. WALTERRI HOPPONEN takes a pass and fires a beautiful wrist shot that beats Fehr just inside the post to tie this game. Assist: Mikko Rantanen.
We'll play 5 minutes of 4-on-four sudden-death overtime to decide 5th and 5th place. If nobody scores, we'll go to a shootout.
MIKKO RANTANEN gets credit with the game-winning goal in which Finland clinches 5th place in the shootout. (17:44:17)
