For the second time in as many games, the Russian Olympic Committee men’s hockey team had little offensive success, but it was once again enough to win.

COR secured a 2-0 victory over Denmark on Friday in the second meeting between the two nations.

Pavel Karnaukhov was the first goalscorer in the clash, midway through the middle period.

Kirill Semyonov then sealed the outcome of the duel by scoring in an empty net.

Goaltender Ivan Fedotov posted a second shutout in as many outings for the defending champions of the men’s competition.

Opposite him was Montreal Canadiens prospect Frederik Dichow, who stood out by stopping 32 of the Russian team’s 33 shots.

Dichow, 20, was the 138th overall pick in the 2019 draft.

The Danes therefore suffer a first setback in Group B after defeating the Czech Republic on Wednesday, as a curtain raiser.

Three other duels are scheduled for Friday: the Czech Republic will face Switzerland, Slovakia will face Sweden, and Finland will cross swords with Latvia.

The pensioner lives in Nizhny Novgorod. About 250 thousand viewers have subscribed to her channel.

The NNYS Awards annually celebrate significant moments and select the best videos across 16 categories.

Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Svetlana Ishmuratova told Match TV that the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the exclusion of Russian biathletes from international competitions is unlikely to be satisfied, but we must hope for the best.

Earlier, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev said that the Russian side would appeal to CAS on December 10 due to the removal of biathletes from international competitions.

Russians have not been allowed to compete under the auspices of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) since 2022.

— Will contacting CAS bring us a positive result?

“Of course, there are very few chances here, but it’s better to try to do something than just sit and wait for manna from heaven.” As they say, hope dies last – we’ll see,” Ishmuratova told Match TV.
