IIHF World Championship: Jensen Impressing; Four Blueshirts Progress

Nicklas Jensen leads the way as Derick Brassard, Brady Skjei, and prospect goalie Igor Shestyorkin join him in quarter-finals.

Nicklas Jensen has been the big surprise thus far as his Denmark side progress through to the knockout rounds after a strong fourth-place finish in Group A.

Derick Brassard (Canada), Brady Skjei (USA), and Igor Shestyorkin (Russia) have also moved on to the second stage of competition.

Jensen, a potential candidate for one of the depth forward roles in New York next season, has five goals and seven points at a PPG pace during group-stage play.
