    58:43
    Russia have taken a timeout, they know that to somehow save this game they have to score with every chance which will come their way
     
    58:21
    We're already now into the final two minutes and Anton Khudobin has been pulled for the extra skater!
     
    48:10
    Surprise surprise we have another penalty. Andreas Thuresson for checking from behind has been given a 2+10 penalty, and for now it's a five on three Russian powerplay with Sergey Plotnikov coming back into the game!
     
    47:26
    Jimmie Ericsson for high sticking against Alexander Ovechkin has now been punished. This game has simply been full of penalties all over the place!
     
    46:22
    That was a pretty short powerplay though. Sergey Plotnikov for high sticking has now been sent to the penalty box
     
    45:29
    Despite that second goal Russia do have a powerplay chance here to get back in to it, Jonas Ahnelov has been penalised for delaying the game
     
    45:26
    Goal for Team Sweden! The tournament hosts have doubled their advantage! MIKAEL BACKLUND is picked out skating completely unmarked down the center of the zone and he beats the goalkeeper blocker side, it's 2-0! Assists- Joakim Lindstrom
     
    44:25
    Klasen! Jinus Klasen, as yet the only goalscorer today, from the left of the slot looks to go upstairs into the near post but he just misses the target!
     
    37:36
    This game really is being littered with penalties! Evgeniy Kuznetsov is the latest to receive one, this time for hooking
     
    36:40
    A powerplay that lasted all of 16 seconds. Jimmie Ericsson has been called for hooking and for now it's four on four hockey
     
    36:24
    Daniel Rahimi for abusing the officials is also sitting in the penalty box, but it's a ten minute penalty which allows Sweden to carry on playing on the powerplay
     
    36:24
    Denis Denisov for roughing has been punished with Dick Axelsson of Sweden being helped off the ice, the penalty though is indeed only a two minute minor
     
    35:49
    Ovechkin! Swedish defenders cough up the puck to Russia's superstar Alexander Ovechkin, he slaps the puck with force on the doorstep but completely misses the net!
     
    31:37
    Jonas Ahnelov for hooking has been sent to the penalty box to give Russia a powerplay to keep the pressure on
     
    31:16
    The pipes once again come to Sweden's rescue! Evgeniy Dadonov from the left faceoff circle takes aim but he smacks the bar, we all heard that!
     
    29:45
    All of a sudden the heroic Anders Nilsson has been pulled in favour of Joacim Eriksson, and as far as I can see Nilsson isn't injured. It's certainly a surprising decision!
     
    28:38
    Plotnikov! Sergey Plotnikov draws a quite wonderful save out of Nilsson! Free on the right of the crease on a shorthanded breakaway Plotnikov slaps the puck into what appears an open corner of the net but Anders Nilsson somehow catches it! What a save!
     
    27:41
    Ilya Zubov has been punished for hooking and Sweden have a powerplay opportunity to double their money
     
    24:49
    Dmitriy Orlov opens up at the blue line, he slaps the puck with all his might but it clings hard off the right hand post! The Russians just cannot score!
     
    23:52
    Linus Klasen for holding has been penalised and Russia have yet another powerplay chance to get on the board
     
    22:55
    Dadonov! The Swedes are again caught out at the back, Evgeniy Dadonov skates powerfully on to the crease but can't slide the puck under Anders Nilsson!
     
    21:15
    Shirokov! Sergey Shirokov has the first chance in the second period as he picks up the loose puck, drives in hard from the left but from right up close he fires only into the goalkeeper's chest! What a chance to equalize!
     
    17:50
    Alexander Ovechkin causes mayhem on the Swedish crease but somehow the home defence manages to clear! On a number of occasions the puck came close to crossing the line!
     
    16:54
    It wasn't a full strength game for long as Mattias Ekholm for tripping against the onrushing Vadim Shipachyov has been sent to the penalty box
     
    15:18
    Dadonov! On a shorthanded two on one breakaway Evgeniy Dadonov skates away on the right, shoots himself looking for the far corner but the puck travels only into the boards!
     
    14:30
    Anton Belov for high sticking has been sent to the penalty box and for the first time today Sweden are going to the powerplay
     
    11:09
    Goal for Team Sweden! They've had nothing to cheer about so far but they strike first! LINUS KLASEN finishes off a flowing move by sweeping the puck home at the right hand post, it's 1-0! Assists- Daniel Rahimi and Dennis Rasmussen
     
    07:24
    Sweden just can't get going and they've picked up another penalty, Jimmie Ericsson for slashing has now been called
     
    04:12
    We have the first penalty of the game and it's against Niklas Olausson of Sweden for holding
