This became possible after the victory of the national team of Finland over the Czech team with the score 3: 0.
Thus, the Russians, who scored 6 points in two played matches of three, became inaccessible to their rivals. Finland and Sweden are in second and third places, respectively, with 3 points each. Czechs who do not score points close the standings. Since the Russian team defeated the teams of Finland and Sweden, the winner of full-time opposition to these teams will not be able to beat the Russians in the standings.
For the seventh time in history, the Russian team became the winner of the Karjala Cup within the Euro Hockey Tour.
Earlier it was reported that Ilya Vorobiev appreciated the game of the Russian national hockey team in the match between Karjala Cup and Sweden.
