On the third day of World Junior round robin play in the Edmonton bubble, three Calgary Flames prospects were involved in tight-checking games. Two won, one lost.
Canada 3, Slovakia 1
Canada maintained their lead in Group A with their second win in as many days, though Slovakia made them work for it.
Due to an injury to Dylan Holloway, Canada’s forward lines were shuffled and Jakob Pelletier and Connor Zary ended up on the same line – Kings prospect Quinton Byfield was their centre. They ended up being one of Canada’s best trios, constantly noticeable in the offensive zone and generally playing smart, energetic hockey.
