After the dramatics against USA that resulted in a shootout loss for the Russians, they would follow that with another shootout a day later. It was 0-0, but Russia was able to win the game in a shootout.

"That's every game here. It's very intense," forward Ilya Kovalchuk told NHL.com. "Even if you play against Slovenia or the USA, or [Sunday] against Slovakia, it doesn't matter. We couldn't find a way how to score, but we found a way to win."

Besides having to work extra hard, Russia is focusing on improving an offense that's scored seven goals in three games and has gone 2-for-13 on the power play, according to NHL.com.

"It does not matter if we will have to play an extra match," goalie Semyon Varlamov said. "The end result is that we will have to play against a good team eventually. And that is what we are focusing on."

For Norway it's simple, they need to get some goals. In three games, they scored once in each.

"We have to get some goals," Tollefsen said. "Our PK has to get better. Our PP has to get better. There's a lot of stuff to work on."
