Maple Leafs prospects continue to shine at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Tournament. Goaltender Joseph Woll (3rd round – 2016) registered his second victory with a 25-save performance in a 3-1 win over Team Canada on Saturday.
In Monday’s quarterfinals, 2016 second rounder Carl Grundstrom scored a goal in Team Sweden’s 8-3 romp over Slovakia. The 19-year-old winger has two goals and four assists in five games for the Swedes, who will take on Team Canada in Montreal on Wednesday.
