Russia shows no weakness, beats Finland 4:2

12 May 2014 | Andreas Reiner
 

Russias second win meant Finlands second loss of the tournament, giving the East Europeans the lead in Group B.

 
 
 
 

Viktor Tikhonovs opening goal just 2 minutes into the game meant a perfect start into a game that should prove that Russia is ready and had left the olympic disappointment behind. Another reason also was that Finland acted clumsy, giving Russia a two-man advantage in the 4th minute where it took NHL star Alexander Ovechkin little less than a minute to score on goalie Mikko Koskinen. Juuso Hietanens goal at the midst of the first period on a one-man advantage left the Fins with a chance to keep up with the high pacing Russians. But just three minutes into period two Finland had a powerplay opportunity, Nikolai Kulyomin had other plans though, scoring a shorthanded goal. Sergei Kalinin then scored the 4th goal of the evening at 35 minutes deciding the game and giving the Fins the 2nd loss at the World Championships. Jere Karalahti's goal on a powerplay in the last minute of the second period was just a bit of make-up on a substandard performance as no more goals were recorded in the final period.
