The opening of the 2016 World Junior Championship saw all three Flames prospects present in action. First, it was Adam Ollas-Mattsson and Team Sweden facing off against Team Switzerland in what turned out to be an overly violent affair; then, it was Mason McDonald starting for Team Canada and Brandon Hickey skating on defence as they prepared to face the Americans much earlier than we're used to.
Sweden 8-3 Switzerland
While it was an eventful game for the Swedes, it was not for Adam Ollas-Mattsson. This makes sense, though: in Sweden's 8-3 win over the Swiss, they spent a considerable amount of time on the power play, an area Ollas-Mattsson is not relied on.
