All active prospects will be with their respective national teams next week. Alexander Romanov is in North America for the Canada-Russia Series while Jacob Olofsson and Jesse Ylönen head for the Four Nations tournament in Hodonín in Czech Republic, where the big four European countries play to prepare for the World Junior Hockey Championship. All three have played with men so far this season and it will be very interesting to see how the Montreal prospects measure up against players their own age.
Jacob Olofsson, Timrå, SHL, Sweden
After a strong start from Timrå when they rode a bit of a PDO wave and played entertaining hockey, the team has been found out by the opposition, and Timrå is currently sitting second last in the table.
