It didn’t take Florida Panthers 2020 first round pick Anton Lundell long to make an impact at the 2021 World Junior Championship in Edmonton.
Lundell roofed a shot from in close after taking a pass from Santeri Hatakka 3:35 into the first period as the favored Finns went on to defeat a game Germany, who got a goal and an assist from highly-touted Ottawa Senators prospect Tim Stuetzle, by a 5-3 count.
Lundell, who is serving as Finland’s captain, finished the game with four shots on goal and a +2 rating.
