Hudson Fasching played 15:20, logging an even rating and one shot on goal.
Sergei Mozyakin (2+1) and Pavel Datsyuk (0+3) led Russia in scoring to secure third place in the tournament in front of their home fans. They've now won a medal in each of the past three World Championships (gold in 2014, silver in 2015 and now bronze in 2016).
