The Easton Cowan Show is officially underway at the World Juniors. Cowan led Canada to a commanding 4-0 victory over Finland during its opening game of the tournament, scoring a key insurance goal in the second period.
The third (and final) of the most recent draftees to make the countdown could be the most impactful. The Lightning went with another undersized forward teeming with talent in Joona Saarelainen, a Finnish forward that never stops skating.
When he was drafted in June, not many folks knew who Joona Saarelainen was. The 18-year-old was taken in the 5th round by the Lightning after starting his professional career with KaPa in the Liiga last season.
