The August run of the World Junior Championships rolled on yesterday, with all four participating New York Islanders prospects in action.
In the afternoon, Aatu Räty didn’t record nearly as many points as he did against Latvia, but he scored Team Finland’s huge third goal—giving them their first lead of the game—and took five shots in Finland’s 4-3 shootout win over Czechia. The other two Isles prospects playing for Team Finland, Eetu Liukas and Matias Rajaniemi, made their tournament debuts.
During the evening, William Dufour recorded two assists as Canada trounced Slovakia, 11-1.
