Provorov returned to the Russian team at the 2016 WJC. His goal in the final minutes of the gold medal game against Finland tied the game 3-3 and forced the match into overtime. Finland scored shortly into the sudden death round, however, and Russia came away with a silver medal once more. Provorov next appeared at the IIHF World Championship the following year, one of ten Flyers appearing at the tournament. Russia earned their fourth consecutive World Championship medal, taking the bronze against Finland.
