Here are three LA Kings prospects that are breakout candidates in the 2021 World Junior Championships tournament.

In just over a week’s time, the National Hockey League’s top prospects will partake in one of the best tournaments around. And for the second consecutive season, the LA Kings will be well-represented at the World Junior Championships, sending nine players from the prospect pool from six different countries.

A quick refresher:

  • Team USA (Alex Turcotte, Arthur Kaliyev, Brock Faber)
  • Team Canada (Quinton Byfield, Jordan Spence)
  • Team Sweden (Tobias Bjornfot)
  • Team Finland (Kasper Simontaival)
  • Team Slovakia (Martin Chromiak)
  • Team Czech Republic (Lukas Parik)

At last year’s World Juniors, Samuel Fagemo and Arthur Kaliyev broke out in a big way.
