Andrei Markov scored a goal and added two assists to lead Russia to a 6-3 win over Switzerland on Sunday.
With the Swiss back on the ice less than 24 hours after their 4-1 win over Denmark and with the Russian players well rested, the hosts, chasing their first world title since 1993, took charge of the game from the start.
Russia's Sergei Zinoviev opened the scoring just 34 seconds into the contest after a perfect feed from Danis Zaripov from behind the goal, The Moscow Times informs.
The Russians, however, soon lost their top player, Washington Capitals left wing Alexander Ovechkin, for the rest of the game. Last year's NHL rookie of the year received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for a hit to the head of Valentin Wirz, who had to be helped to get back to the Swiss bench.
But Switzerland rarely threatened during its five-minute advantage while Ilya Kovalchuk doubled Russia’s lead with a quick wrist shot into the top corner soon after getting back on the ice after serving Ovechkin’s penalty.
Zaripov made it 3-0 midway through the second period before Mark Streit put the Swiss on the scoresheet with one minute left in the period.
Markov, Alexader Frolov and Pyotr Shchastlivyi added third-period goals for the Russians, who now face defending champion Sweden, another unbeaten team in Group E, in the top-of-the-table clash on Monday.
