Although a lot was expected from the 18-year-old centering between Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Rodion Amirov and Vancouver Canucks top prospect Vasili Podkolzin, he didn’t make anything happen really in this pre-tournament game. He is fun to watch though.
- One other Wild prospect was in action last night, as Czech Republic winger Pavel Novak was able to demonstrate a little bit more production than his Russian peer.
Not the most beautiful goal imaginable, but it was still a goal to open up the game.
- In the same Edmonton bubble, two other prospects played some preliminary matches and was able to shine above their teammates.
