2011 WJC, Canada Vs. Russia: Canadians Strike First On Powerplay
The Canadians look exactly like they did against the Americans on Monday night as they have taken their physical presence to the Russians with the game spending most of the time in Canadian offensive zone. Russian goaltender Dmitri Shikin is making some nice saves to keep the Russians in the game.
Much like the USA/Canada game, the Russians will need to make sure that they score soon or else this game will get out of hand quickly as the Canadians have a way to find the back of the net, scoring the most goals in the tournament with 36 over six game.
