The 2023 World Junior Championship is nearing its end and we got to see some solid performances from Minnesota Wild prospects in the quarterfinals. Let’s see what they were up to.
Liam Öhgren , Sweden vs. Finland
Öhgren had another quiet performance against a strong team, as he did against Canada in the final preliminary game. But unlike that game his team walked away with a 3-2 win and will be advancing to the semifinals (that will be a theme).
Unfortunately, in the 3-2 win Öhgren was on for all of Finland’s goals and zero of Sweden’s; furthering the notion that the trio of the second line hailing from Djurgårdens, has been overall disappointing compared to other (and younger) players like 2023 NHL Draft-eligible Leo Carlsson.
