Montreal Canadiens prospect Cole Caufield will begin the World Junior Tournament on Christmas Day.

The Montreal Canadiens have sent some top prospects to the World Junior Hockey Championship over the past few seasons.

We have seen great performances from Ryan Poehling, who was named MVP of the event two years ago. Cayden Primeau was his goaltender and he played exceptional in goal for USA en route to a silver medal.

They lost that gold medal game to Finland in 2019, which had Canadiens prospect Jesse Ylönen playing a third line role while also chipping in on the power play.
