Finland only has four players who played in North America this season, and only two in the NHL: Henri Jokiharju and Juho Lammikko. That isn’t to say they don’t have a good roster. A lot of eyes will be on Kappo Kakko, presumed to be one of the first two names called at this year’s NHL Draft. They also have Oliwer Kaski who has drawn NHL interest. Canada’s biggest loss may have happened on Wednesday when John Tavares returned to Toronto with an oblique injury. Canada’s depth will be tested, and it’s not an easy start to their tournament.
