Russia - Denmark. A statistical look

- This was the first time in the history of USSR/Russian national teams that defensemen scored the first three goals of a match. The only time when three defensemen scored goals in the first period was back in 1991 against the USA (12:2), however they were the third, fourth and fifth goals of the game. Dmitry Mironov, Alexei Kasatonov and Igor Krachuk were the scorers.

- The ninth goal, netted by Vadim Shipachyov, was the 350th scored in a Moscow World Championship game. It has taken 48 matches for our team to reach that landmark. 

- A victory with a goal difference of nine has equalled the record set in 1994 against Great Britain (12:3), and against the Kazakhs ten years ago (10:1).

- This was Russia's biggest ever win over Denmark. The previous best was 9:1, when our team defeated Denmark in Moscow in 2007. Evgeny Dadonov's goal was the 50th scored against the Danes.
