The Russian team continues to convince in the hockey World Cup.
In addition to the bottom line against Slovakia, they have three points, and on Saturday afternoon another came when Switzerland was defeated 3-1.
With five minutes left in the middle of the night, Anton Burdasov took speed from his own zone and crept in over the offensive blue line and shot 1-0 to the Russians.
Burdasov's fourth goal of the tournament.
Eight minutes into the third period, Andres Ambuhl sent in a chance puck in front of goal.
There was Nico Hischier who easily poked in the Swiss equalizer.
But just three minutes later, Switzerland was again at a disadvantage, when TV viewers were treated to perhaps the World Cup's most beautiful performance.
Sergei Tolchinsky was hooked, sitting on the end, he then passed - with one hand on the club - to Pavel Karnaukhov who made it 2-1 to the Russians.
Shortly afterwards, Tolchinsky also became the goal scorer after a delicious backhand puck up in the net.
- Tolchinsky is the difference.
There is not much better, this is eye candy, says SVT's expert.
The match ended 4-1 after a second goal by Tolchinsky in the closing seconds.
