    That's the final buzzer, and it's Russia's day with a 3-2 victory over Sweden! A fantastic match from start to finish we've seen today. Tom Wandell gave the Swedes the lead but defenceman Maksim Chudinov replied quickly. In a frantic third period Chudinov celebrated his second goal of the game only for Burstrom to peg the Russians back, but young Prohorkin gave the tournament hosts an in the end, deserved victory. Thank you for following the match here with us today, and see you on Sunday for the next round of games in the Channel One Cup. (18:15:37)
