With Russia shorthanded against Denmark, Sergei Fedorov passed to Alex Ovechkin the slot. Ovechkin fired off a quick wrist shot that hit the net camera and bounced back so fast that the red light did not go off and the play was ruled no goal. The play was later reviewed and Ovechkin picked up his 5th goal of the World Championships. Pavel Datsyuk added a hat trick and Russian won 6-1, they will play Finland on Tuesday. Video of the goal on YouTube via Alex Ovetjkin The goal and the subsequent review is from 1:27 to 3:37.
