Russia claim ice hockey world bronze after Finland scare

Russia survived a late fightback by Finland to seal a 5-3 win on Sunday to claim bronze medals at the ice hockey world championship.
Having lost 4-2 to Canada in the semi-finals, Russia raced into a 4-0 lead in the bronze-medal match with Nikita Gusev (twice), Vladimir Tkachyov and Bogdan Kiselevich all scoring.
But Finland rallied with three unanswered goals through Mikko Rantanen, Mikko Lehtonen and Veli-Matti Savinainen to pull it back to 4-3 early in the third quarter.
Nikita Kucherov settled Russian nerves though with the team's fifth goal to secure third place.
Defending champions Canada are chasing a third straight world title -- and their 27th overall -- in Sunday's final against Sweden.

Jason Bateman has confirmed that he's officially signed on for a fifth season of the beloved comedy. The erstwhile Michael Bluth broke the news to fans on Twitter, writing, "Look (sic) very probable I'm going to put some miles on the Stair Car this summer. Just officially signed on to more ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT today." The news comes after much speculation over whether Netflix would be able to wrangle the famous cast for another season following the streaming giant's season four revival back in 2013.
