In the last game of the 2018-2019 Euro Hockey Tour, the senior Russian national team defeated the Czech Republic 4-1 in Brno.

After Kirill Kaprizov initially gave Russia the lead, Michal Řepík equalized for the hosts, but fantastic goals from Yevgeni Kuznetsov and Dmitri Orlov then handed our players a 3-1 advantage with 40 minutes in the break.

In the closing stages, the Czechs replaced Jakub Kovář for the extra skater, but that only resulted in Yevgeni Kuznetsov hitting the empty net to seal an emphatic 4-1 victory! Russia have won the overall 2018-2019 Euro Hockey Tour tournament.
