LA Kings 2019 fifth overall pick Alex Turcotte had a strong finish to Team USA’s goal medal run. Here’s what ESPN writer Chris Peters had to say.

Alex Turcotte had a slow start to the 2021 World Juniors, as it was Anaheim Ducks’ top prospect Trevor Zegras consistently producing points. The LA Kings 2019 fifth overall pick was one of eight players returning for Team USA, but he failed to produce at last year’s tournament, as the Americans walked away without a medal.

If you recall, we pegged Turcotte as a breakout candidate in this year’s World Juniors.
