@BNHarrington -
And here comes an early NA power play. A hooking call on Kuznetsov at 1:36. Eichel at left point of PP.
Gaudreau steals puck, streaks out of corner, gets game's first SOG after 3:10. Bobrovsky with the save.
Kulikov shows some wheels skating through neutral zone, gets Russia's first shot after 4:02. Murray flubbed briefly.
Highlight Reel Goal. McDavid blows down the right wing - past Datsyuk - feeds Matthews for the tap-in and the building erupts. 1-0 NA at 5:14.
You have to like how Kulikov pushes in on the play. Snuck in on the fly from point to take the pass. Murray with the save.
Eichel leading a 3-on-1 caught from behind but they still get an on-the-doorstep chance from Larkin that's stopped.
Team NA doing a good job clearing away the rebounds Murray is handing out. So far. Shots are 9-8 for Russia.
