A statistical round-up of the 2017 World Championship

Never before had Russia scored 45 goals at one World Championship. This has beaten the previous record of 44 set in 2012 and 2016.

This was the first time in history when Russia earned four shutouts during one single World Championship. Interestingly, 11 out of Oleg Znarok's 40 World Championship matches in charge of Russia have finished without conceding a goal.

Our players scored 16 powerplay goals. However, the record is 17 from the 2006 competition.

All 22 skaters took at least one point. 

A Russian player became the World Championship's top scorer for the second consecutive year. Vadim Shipachyov had the most points in 2016, while this year, Artemiy Panarin was more productive than any other player.

Playing at his first World Championship, Nikita Kucherov picked up an impressive 15 points (7+8). 

Anton Belov has competed in 47 World Championship fixtures. So far, the defenseman boasts 23 points (8+15). 

Vadim Shipachyov owns 47 World Championship points (15+32). Only two Russian players have more assists at this competition. Artemiy Panarin is just behind with 42 points (15+27).

Fellow forward Sergei Mozyakin has played in 51 Russian national team matches, taking 38 points (19+19).

Russia scored a record breaking six powerplay goals in the game against Italy.

The team didn't concede a goal for 201 minutes and 50 seconds before the 3:5 defeat against the USA. This is also a new record for Russia.

Despite playing at two World Championships, netminder Ilya Sorokin is yet to let a goal in. 

Andrei Vasilevskiy earned three shutouts at this tournament.

Evgeny Dadonov is the only Russian player to take part in every match at the past four World Championships.

This season, Russia won 19 out of 29 matches. The goal difference is 101-58 in our favour. Bogdan Kiselevich scored the landmark 100th goal, while the campaign's top scorer for Russia is Artemiy Panarin (7+16 = 23).
