Maple Leafs Prospect Update: World Championships begin, Joe Miller takes home Clark Cup, Dmitri Ovchinnikov impressing at Black Sea Cup

As I mentioned last week, there are currently five players that qualify as Leafs prospects participating in the IIHF World Championships over in Latvia. That’s where we will start in today’s rundown.

World Championships Begin

The games began over the course of the past week, with three of the five Leafs prospects getting into game action.

D Kristians Rubins has been the most notable prospect thus far. The defender hasn’t recorded any points, but that’s not really his game. Rubins is playing in a defensive role for Latvia, factoring into their top four as well as their penalty kill thus far.
