While Texas has most of the week off, Denis Gurianov has been hard at work in the World Juniors. When he isn't studying with Coach Laxdal for his driver's license exam, he must be working hard on his goal celebrations. Gurianov had plenty of reason to celebrate yesterday afternoon.
The Texas Stars rookie was looking to help send Russia to the gold medal game in the World Juniors. He certainly did his part. The winger potted two goals in regulation and two more in the eventual shootout. The USA eventually triumphed in the seventh round to advance to the gold medal game.
