The Karjala tournament, the second Euro Hockey Tour event in the 2009-2010 season, was decided after the fifth game when Alexei Morozov scored the game-winner on the power play in overtime for Russia against the Czech Republic.
Russia was undefeated in the round robin event, but needed overtime twice – against the Czechs and Finns – to claim the crown. Morozov netted both overtime game-winners.
While the Russians took over the top position in the Euro Hockey Tour standings with 12 points in six games, the home crowd celebrated Finland’s historic win against rival Sweden with a 7-0 thumping. It was only the second time that the Finns netted a seven-goal win against the Tre Kronor.
The win was also the second for the Finns against Sweden this season as they won the Nordic meeting in the first Euro Hockey tour event in September. Goalkeeper Petri Vehanen, earned the shutout with 27 saves. On the other side, Swedish netminder Stefan Liv was replaced after two periods seven goals.
