Against Team Switzerland in the 3-0 win, Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov got things started for Team Russia with a highlight reel play as he crashed the net, put a move around Swiss defenseman Lukas Frick and shot the puck on net. He was stopped by Leonardo Genoni, but Artem Anisimov put home the rebound to put the Russians up 1-0.
Orlov is apart of a Russian defense and goaltending tandem that has allowed just three goals and four shutouts this tournament. Russia has one more round robin game against Sweden left on the schedule.
