Mursak blocks Unterluggauer's shot and gets the feed from David Rodman as he flies up ice. Unterluggauer tries to stop the shot, but Mursak muscles his way to the net and places the puck in the goal.
David Rodman is playing in the corner and catches Kovacevic flying in between the circles. He let's a rocket of a one-timer go and Lukas half ducks the blazing puck, half tried for the glove save. Slovenia has taken control of this game.
Urbas skates in shorthanded on a routine 2-on-2. Lange is really too far in the middle of the net and Unterluggauer also play the pass. Urbas has all day to stick handle and find his spot over Lange's glove.
A nice power play for Slovenia with several attempts to score. Eventually Kopitar gets a pass from Ticar between the circles and picks his spot. He goes between the legs and Lang cannot quite squeeze in the puck as it trickles across the goal line.
