MONTREAL - Move over, Jonathan Toews and T.J. Oshie.
There’s another shootout specialist on the scene.
Exactly 10 years after Toews went 3-for-3 in a semifinal overtime shootout win against the U.S. at the World Junior Hockey Championship, forward Troy Terry pulled the same feat in a wild 4-3 win against Russia to advance to the gold medal game.
Of course, for an American-born forward, it was Oshie’s shootout success against Russia in the 2014 Olympics — where he went 4-for-6 in a preliminary round game — that seemed to be a more appropriate comparison.
“I don’t know if you could put me in the same league as him, but it’s definitely an honour to be put in the same sentence as him,” Terry, an Anaheim Ducks prospect, said of Oshie.
