More specifically, the Florida Panthers had three prospects in the tournament this year: Owen Tippett (Canada), Aleksi Heponiemi (Finland), and Grigori Denisenko (Russia).
Starting with the first one who was knocked out, forward Owen Tippett’s tournament was cut short after their defeat to the Finns in the quarterfinals.
He and his nation may not have gone as far as they would’ve liked, but no one can argue that Tippett was one of Canada’s best forwards at the tournament this year.
In 5 games played, Tippett recorded 2G & 2A, falling just one point shy of hitting the point-per-game mark.
