The Russian Under-20 team beat Sweden 3-2 in overtime to finish on top of the four-nation tournament in Podolsk. Sweden finished second, Finland third and Czech Republic fourth.

Maxim Shalunov scored at 4:38 of the overtime period to win the last game of the tournament 3-2 for Russia. Russia and Sweden had both beaten Finland and Czech Republic so this game also functioned as a final.

Shalunov’s game-winner was a beauty. A powerful shot in the far top corner assisted by Zakhar Arzamastsev and Pavel Kulikov.

Shalunov had also opened the scoring at 5:47. Sweden’s John Vestin tied it at 12:53 and Sweden took the lead when William Karlsson scored at 41:13 after a scoreless second period.
