U.S. Defeats Russia, 3-2, in Olympic Men’s Hockey
The United States defeated Russia, 3-2, in a dramatic shootout in men’s hockey at the Sochi Olympics on Saturday.
The most anticipated hockey game of the Olympics so far was as close as expected. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice for Russia, once to give the host country a 1-0 lead and then to tie the score in the third period.
