Pavel Datsyuk and Alexey Marchenko will join Detroit Red Wings teammate Dylan Larkin in the World Championship semifinals after Russia beat Germany 4-1 Thursday in the quarterfinals.

Larkin and the United States advanced to the quarterfinals in the other half of the bracket by beating the Czech Republic earlier Thursday.

If both the U.S. and Russia win their semifinal games, they'd meet for the gold medal Sunday in Moscow.

Neither Datsyuk or Marchenko figured in the scoring for Russia, which got two goals from Vadim Shipachyov and one apiece from Yevgeni Dadonov and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.

Patrick Reimer opened the scoring for Germany in the first period before Russia bagged the final four goals.

Datsyuk had two shots and an even plus-minus rating in 15:23 of ice time for Russia. Marchenko had no shots and an even plus-minus rating in 14:52.

Russia will face unbeaten Finland Saturday in the semis.

Canada 6, Sweden 0: The Canadians scored once in the first period, three times in the second and twice in the third to eliminate Sweden and Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist, who had one shot and an even plus-minus rating in 18:47 of action. Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets, Matt Dumba of the Minnesota Wild, Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins, Max Domi of the Arizona Coyotes, Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators and Derick Brassard of the New York Rangers scored for Canada. Scheifele and Stone added two assists apiece. Canada will meet Team USA Saturday in the semis.
