OAR Prevails over Germany in OT; Win Hockey Gold Medal Game at 2018 Olympics

The Olympic Athletes from Russia defeated Germany 4-3 in overtime Sunday to capture gold in the men's Olympic hockey tournament at Gangneung Hockey Center in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Kirill Kaprizov scored the game-winner on the power play 9 minutes, 40 seconds into the extra session to hand the OAR the Olympic title.

That heroic effort came on the heels of a frenzied third period that featured four goals in a seven-minute span.

In fact, the OAR trailed 3-2 with 3:16 to go in regulation following a go-ahead tally by Germany's Jonas Muller. However, they stood tall and knotted the score at three with 55 seconds remaining when Nikita Gusev slotted one home for his second goal of the night.
