    In an absolute thriller the USA have taken it 3-2 after penalty shots! A shootout where T.J. Oshie scored an incredible four times, and despite the best efforts of Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk he proved to be the difference. You will be hard pushed to see a better hockey game than that. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me later for Sweden against Lativa in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games! (16:32:15)

    T.J. Oshie also goes again, makes the same move but with Bobrovskiy already beaten he misses the net!
     
    He himself goes again, but this time he misses the target!
     
    Ilya Kovalchuk scores into the left hand corner, 1-1 and it's sudden death!
