Lightning Round: Nolan Foote started the World Juniors with a goal

The 2019 World Junior Championship started yesterday in Ostrava and Tu0159inec, Czech Republic. We are going to focus on the performances by couple Lightning prospects who played yesterday and the more detailed recap by our junior hockey expert Lauren is coming later today.

Nolan Foote started the game against team USA on the first line with Joe Veleno and Alexis Lafrenière. He gave his team a lead in the second period, proving his reputation as one of the best shooters on the team. This goal came from power play opportunity after a pass from Ty Smith.
