The NHL season is still a few months away but the pandemic-delayed World Junior Championship is hitting the ice up north this week. Five of the Chicago Blackhawks’ prospects will be playing in the upcoming games, which start on Tuesday.
Here’s a quick rundown of who’s playing, what teams they’re representing and when to watch the group stage games.
Each game from the World Juniors will be broadcast live on the NHL Network in the US and on TSN and RDS in Canada.
Team USA
Forward Landon Slaggert, 2020 third-round pick (79th overall)
Slaggert will wear an “A” for the Americans and is coming off a strong sophomore season for Notre Dame that’s helped Slaggert register more profoundly on team radars.
