Leafs Prospect Update: Filip Hallander makes World Championships debut, Dmitri Ovchinnikov wraps up Black Sea Cup, Mikhail Abramov sparks comeback in QMJHL Finals

Let’s dive right into what happened over the past week.

World Championships Update

The World Championships are still ongoing over in Latvia, with multiple Leafs prospects involved in the action.

F Filip Hallander finally got into the lineup for Sweden, taking fellow Leafs prospect F Pontus Holmberg‘s spot after the latter went pointless in two games.

Hallander played four games over this past week and managed to pick up one point — an assist on Ducks forward Isac Lundestrom’s empty netter on Sunday. He put in one heck of an effort to get the puck back from the Slovakian defender and was rewarded for his efforts, as you can see here:
