    65:15
    Goal for Team USA!
    They had the pressure on, MICHAEL PASTUJOV had one shot that Raiko stopped but they couldn't clear the zone, the puck came back to him in close and he put it out of the goalie's reach to end the game and put his team into the tournament final.
     
    64:45
    Miller shoots wide as the US put the pressure on again.
     
    64:27
    Wrister from Inamoto, caught and held by Raiko.
     
    63:55
    No goal! The game continues and the faceoff is in the Russian zone.
     
    63:55
    They're now going to look at the play on video review, to see whether that puck went into the US net. From my position, I couldn't see what happened.
     
    63:55
    Back down to the Russian zone, Raiko covers.
    63:28
     
    63:28
    Now a scramble in front of the US goal, Russian arms went in the air but the referee signals no goal and play continues.
     
    62:50
    The puck came out front to Phillips all alone, he had all sorts of time and tried to place his shot but couldn't beat Raiko.
     
    62:03
    US rush into the zone, Mirageas's weak-angle shot is held by Raiko.
     
    61:28
    Timeout Russia.
     
    61:28
    Icing Russia.
     
    61:15
    But Chmelevski cuts to the front with the puck, gets a shot, save Raiko and it was loose for a while before cleared.
     
    61:00
    USA with the early pressure but not getting shots through.
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    This will be a 10-minute sudden-death overtime period, and the teams will skate 4 on 4. If nobody scores, a shootout will decide it.
