The Russian national ice hockey team lost to the Finnish team at the Junior World Cup

Leading 3: 1 on 57-1 minute, the Russians were unable to maintain the advantage in regulation time. As a result, the victory in shootouts went to the Finns.

According to the head coach of the junior team, Albert Leshchev, the lack of time for rest was one of the reasons for the defeat of his charges.

"The game turned out to be less emotional, yesterday we gave a lot of emotions, we had less than a day to rest, a little lack of strength. But the guys fought and tried, all great fellows", - quotes the words of the mentor "Championship".

In regulation time, Fedor Svechkov scored the Russians, and another goal was scored by Nikita Chibrikov. The Finns responded with goals from Samu Salminen, Ville Koivunen and Samu Tuomaaly.

Yesterday, in the first match of the group stage of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship, the Russian national team beat the Americans with a score of 7: 6. At the same time the team started the meeting, losing 1: 5.

It's worth reminding that the leader of the junior national team of Russia Ivan Miroshnichenko could not get to the match. The United States denied him entry into the country without giving any reason.
