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.
Finally Russia get the powerplay going. The puck is worked back to the point to DAMIR SHARIPZYANOV, and his hard wrist shot goes top corner glove side on Julio Billia. The Russians are within one
Spencer Watson went close in the build up, only to be denied by Sergei Boikov's fantastic block. However, Canada keep Russia scrambling, and the puck eventually falls to an unmarked SAM BENNETT at the back post, who makes no mistake tapping the puck in.
Wow, Canada takes the lead 39 seconds in. SPENCER WATSON brings the puck into the zone with speed. Yegor Tsvetkov seemingly cuts out the action but he ends up poking the puck through the five hole of Sergei Korobov. It's an own goal and Spencer Watson gets the credit.
Apologies for the original error.
