Two Blackhawks representatives skated away with medals as the 2016 IIHF World Championship came to a close on Sunday in Moscow. In the bronze medal game, Artemi Panarin and Team Russia breezed past the United States, scoring the first four goals of the game in an eventual 7-2 win. Then, Canada emerged victorious from a tightly fought gold medal contest that held the slimmest of margins until the dying seconds, when an empty-netter gave the defending champions a 2-0 final tally. The Finns, including defenseman Ville Pokka, captured silver.
Here’s how the Blackhawks did on the last day of Worlds:
Artemi Panarin (RUS): After being kept off the scoresheet through the first two medal rounds, Panarin ended the tournament with an outstanding performance, logging a goal and two assists in the bronze medal game.
