The Russians with their third power play goal of the night already, make it 6-3! A shot from the red line by Anna Shibanova was deflected next to the net and the puck came straight to TATYANA BURINA who fired it into the back of the net from short distance! That should be the decisive goal!
Assisted by Anna Shibanova and Alyona Khomich.
GALINA SKIBA ends a fast passing combination initiiated by Tatyana Burina and Iya Gavrilova with a shot into the then wide open net from short distance – 5-3 for Russia and maybe the decision in this match?!
Assisted by Tatyana Burina and Iya Gavrilova.
