Top Forward of the Day: Jonathan Dahlen (SWE) – (3G, 0A, 3PTS)
Jonathan Dahlen finished off the round robin any forward would want too, with a hat-trick. Sweden has been on fire this whole tournament making them heavy favorites to win the whole thing.
Top Defenseman of the Day: Oliver Kylington (SWE) – (0G – 1A – 1PT)
Top defenseman of the day award has to go to Oliver Kylington. While other d-men in the tournament also registered a point yesterday, Kylington did so but was also a plus one. He’s not expected to put up crazy statistics, but he will be a reliable, responsible defenseman, which is why Calgary selected him in the second round of the 2015 draft.
Top Goalie of the Day: Veini Vehvilainen (FIN) – (1W, 0.00GAA, 1.000SV%)
While two teams both registered shutouts yesterday (Finland and Russia). Finnish goaltender Veini Vehvilainen was the one who faced the most shots, which is why he gets the top goalie of the day honors.
Mon, Jan 2nd. World Juniors Schedule:
Relegation Tournament Game 1 – Finland vs. Latvia – (Time – TBA)
Quarter Final 1 – Denmark vs. Russia – (Time – TBA)
Quarter Final 2 – United States vs. Switzerland – (Time – TBA)
Quarter Final 3 – Sweden vs. Slovakia – (Time – TBA)
Quarter Final 4 – Canada vs. Czech Republic – (Time – TBA)
The round robin is finished, which means January 2nd will be the start of the medal rounds. Also the start of the relegation tournament between Latvia and Finland which will be a best of three contest. In all reality, Finland should be able to win this mini playoff series, but the way they have been playing, and the fact Latvia hasn’t won a single game, don’t be surprised if the opposite happens.
Currently, the IIHF has Denmark and Russia in the first quarter-final with Sweden and Slovakia filling the second, the United States and Switzerland in the third, and finally Canada and the Czech Republic in the last match. Denmark has been quite streaky this year while Russia has been a bit off. Sweden will most likely take the win against the Slovaks while the United States is likely to do the same against the Swiss. Finally, Canada should be able to get the win against the Czech’s, but for fans of Canada, let’s hope they come out to play and don’t get off to a sluggish start like they did against the U.S.
