Flames prospects Poirier, Kuznetsov await 2022 Memorial Cup Final opponent
A pair of Calgary Flames prospects are off to the 2022 Memorial Cup Final.
Saint John Sea Dogs defencemen Jeremie Poirier and Yan Kuznetsov will look to capture the most prestigious trophy in Canadian junior hockey on Wednesday when they face either the Hamilton Bulldogs or the Shawinigan Cataractes.
The Bulldogs and Cataractes are set to do battle in the tournament semifinal on Monday evening, with the winner earning a spot in the championship game against the host Sea Dogs.
Poirier punched the Sea Dogs’ ticket to the final with the game-winning goal over Shawinigan in the final round-robin game on Saturday. Saint John came back from a 3–0 deficit to capture the game 5–3.
