“He is our number one at the moment. He did well today and caught everything. We believe that he will continue in this way,” said coach Sergei Bragin, who lost the planned reinforcement from the NHL to the goal of Ilya Samsonov from Washington.
Right at the beginning, the Russians had to defend themselves against the exclusion of Barabanov, and Samonov dealt with Storm’s flowing missiles from Markus Lauridsen. Immediately during Andersen’s punishment, he was held by Dány Dahm, who destroyed Barabanov’s shot and Šalunov’s shot, which had an exposed goal in front of him. In the 15th minute, the Danish goalkeeper managed to displace Zadorov’s shot on the left post.
Halfway through the match, he pushed into a chance from the corner of Voronkov, but stopped him with a foul by Jesper Jensen. The Danes defended themselves in weakening. In the 38th minute, Andersen went to play for the second time in the match and the team took advantage of the numerical advantage. Voronkov could not finish before the goal area, but the puck got to the left side to Morozov, who overcame Dahma on the closer pole.

At the beginning of the third period, the Danes sustained further weakening during Olesen’s sentence and in the 47th minute during Morozov’s stay on the penalty bench they were close to leveling. After Meyer’s shot, Samonov’s upper bar helped Samon and the St. Petersburg goalkeeper coped with True’s flow.
“We knew we would have a hard time in our defensive zone, but the match went well for us. We played really well and we can be satisfied with the performance, but not with the result,” said Danish defender Morten Poulsen.
In the 50th minute, he secured the lead of the favorite Barabanov, who hit the left circle after a puck from Tolčinský’s duel with Markus Lauridsen bounced off him. Other goals could be added by Burdasov, Morozov and Slepyshev.
After 57 minutes, after Morozov’s throw-in, he completed the result with a shot from the left circle Voronkov. Morozov could have improved the balance of one goal and assistance in the match in the end, but Dahm hit with a catch.
