Important reinforcement for Team Canada

Important reinforcement for Team Canada

Since the Canadian team failed to score against Sweden on Friday, it can count on an important addition to the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, which is in full swing in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Forward Jagger Firkus will be added to Canada's 25-man roster, according to Darren Dreger.

Nevertheless, according to Dreger, this would be a precautionary measure in the event of an injury; Matthew Savoie didn't train today.

Firkus could add an interesting offensive flavor to the Canadian lineup. A second-round pick of the Seattle Kraken (35th overall) in 2022, Firkus has 59 points, including 27 goals, in 32 games this season with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Junior League (WHL).

Canada plays its fourth round-robin game against Germany on Sunday. Alan Letang's team has so far recorded victories of 5-2 and 10-0 against Finland and Latvia respectively, before losing 0-2 to Sweden.
