2023 Wild Juniors Day 4: Not a lot going on
Photo by Kevin Light/Getty ImagesIt was the fourth day of the group stage in the 2023 World Junior Championship on Thursday and for Minnesota Wild prospects, that apparently meant not doing a whole lot in their respective games.
We might as well get right to it.
Liam Öhgren, Sweden vs. Czechia
Sweden faced a significant test on Thursday as they faced Czechia who, of any team, is poised to go on a Cinderella Story run since they are not being taken as seriously as countries like Canada, United States, or their opponents. It ended up being a tight 3-2 win for Sweden, so not a lot of opportunity for offensive production and numbers to grow for us to feel better about some Wild prospects.
