ANDREI Makarov made 41 saves to help tournament host Russia edge the US 2-1 on Friday at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Ufa.
Vladimir Tkachyov scored the winner from close range four minutes into the third period as Russia withstood a late two-man advantage for the Americans to hold on for the win.
Albert Yarullin gave Russia an early lead with a slap shot from the left circle 2:42 into the first period, and Jacob Troub equalized with a slap shot from the blue line on a power play midway through the second.
US goalie John Gibson made 28 saves, and stopped Nikolay Kucherov from extending the lead by blocking his one-on-one effort with 2:44 left to play.
The Americans then had a late power play and pulled Gibson to play 6-on-4, but couldn't force the match into overtime.

Goals in the first period from Marko Dano and Tomas Mikus put Slovakia 2-0 ahead before Strome narrowed the gap and Dano restored the two-goal margin on a power play midway through the second period.
