    Don't forget, we still have three more semifinals today, and we'll have them all for you here at Eurolivescores.com (14:26:14)
     
    Players of the Game:

    USA – Matt Grzelcyk
    Russia – Anton Slepyshev
     
    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): USA 9 (33), Russia 3 (25).

    Stifling defence by the Russians in the third period, and they're on their way to the quarterfinals to play the winner of Sweden-Slovakia.

    For the USA, nobody would have expected this team to be out in the quarterfinals after watching their first three games, but that's the way it goes.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:31
    Buchnevich taunts the US bench in his celebration and gets a 10-minute misconduct, but it's not going to matter.
     
    59:31
    Goal for Team Russia!
    Grzelcyk turns with the puck with the blueline and falls, giving PAVEL BUCHNEVICH a clearcut break on the empty net and he punches the Russians' ticket into the quarterfinals. Unassisted, empty-net goal.
     
    59:20
    Barber tries to go pass to the slot but it's deflected out of the zone . . .
     
    59:13
    The Americans win the draw, get a couple of shots on Vasilevsky but he stops them both, the second with the glove.
     
    59:05
    Puck out of play in the Russian zone, faceoff inside with Gillies on the bench and a 6-on-5 numerical advantage for the AMericans.
     
    58:55
    Play goes into the Russian zone, Gillies goes to the bench.
     
    58:48
    Timeout USA.

    With the faceoff at centre, Gillies will probably be on the ice at first, but will be looking to the bench if the play moves down in the Russian zone.
     
    58:48
    Puck deflected out of play in the neutral zone, the faceoff will be at centre ice.
     
    58:07
    Kerdiles goes to the net, knocked down, play in the Russia zone.
     
    56:48
    Pass across to Jaccob Slavin, he tries to go upstairs before Vasilevsky can get across and just over the crossbar.
     
    56:08
    Matt Grzelcyk with a long slapper from centre, right on Vasilevsky.
     
    55:12
    Offside USA on the shoot-in, faceoff at centre ice.
     
    54:10
    Skjei with a low slapper that hits Vasilevsky in the left pad.
     
    53:30
    Russia back at full strength, USA try to enter the zone again.
     
    52:44
    They ice it again, USA start back again but they go offside with just :25 left in the power play.
     
    52:10
    Russia ice, USA still shotless.
