No, that was just a win for the USA in Group play. USA gets 2 points for
the win, Russia gets one point for the shootout loss.
USA's win probably means a first round bye when all 12 teams go to the elimination round. The three group winners and one second-place team
get the bye.
I would not be surprised to see Russia and USA playing for a medal.
I see Switzerland beat Czech Republic. Isn't that an upset? I haven't followed this sport in a long time but when I lived in the GWN, Czechoslovakia was one of the European powerhouses.

The Czech Republic is not the same team as the team since they won the gold medal in the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Goaltender Dominik Hasek was arguably the best goalkeeper in the world at the time, but he was at the
end of his career.
