Evgeny Kuznetsov had two shots in 14:45 of ice time. Orlov was on the ice for all three of Russia’s goals.
Former Capital prospect Steffen Soberg was in net for Team Norway. Goalie Ilya Sorokin stopped all 25 shots in his first career World Championship start, win, and shutout.
The Russians are now tied with the Czech Republic in Group A. Both teams have 15 standings points.
The Russians will face Andre Burakovsky’s Team Sweden on Tuesday, while the Czechs play Switzerland. Sweden, currently with 13 points, could overtake both teams and win the group stage with a win over Russia and a Czech loss.
