The Russian national hockey team powered into the Youth Olympics final on Friday with a 5-2 thrashing of the United States.

Among the scorers for Russia were team captain Ivan Nikolishin, the son of former Washington Capitals and Russian national team center Andrei Nikolishin.

Credited with a standout game was Russian goaltender Sergei Korobov, who never allowed the Americans get to within a single goal, even though they outshot Russians 32 to 16.

In Sunday's final, Russia will meet the winners of the other semifinal between Canada and Finland.

Russia lost to the Finns 4-3 in group play.
