World Cup: Russia blanks Finland; Panthers all done

Round Robin play wrapped up on Thursday in Toronto and all of the Florida Panthers participating in the 2016 World Cup are heading home.

Russia whitewashed Finland by a 3-0 count to edge Team North America for the final spot in the semifinals and will meet Group A-winner Canada Saturday night at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

The other semifinal will pit Group B-winner Sweden against Team Europe. That game will take place on Sunday at 1 p.m. on ESPN.

The Russians got goals from Vladimir Tarasenko, Ivan Telegin and Evgeni Malkin. Sergei Bobrovsky made 21 saves for the shutout.

Finland only scored one goal in its three Group B games.

Aleksander Barkov logged 18:03 of ice time and posted one shot on goal, a hit and an even rating.

Jussi Jokinen went -1 and registered two shots on goal and one hit in 14:16 TOI.

Jokinen finished the tournament with one assist while Barkov went pointless for the Finns. Vincent Trocheck scored a goal for Team North America and Aaron Ekblad played one dominant game for the exciting 23-and-Under squad before having his stint cut short by injury.

In the final Group A game, the Czech Republic held on to pull out a 4-3 win over Team USA.
