The World Junior Championship opened on Sunday, with three Penguins players representing their countries in the tournament.

How did they do in the first two days of the tournament?
DAY 1
Blomqvist was a scratch for Finland's 3-1 win over Germany, a surprising development given that he was expected to contend for the starting job.
