One of the notable players at the World Juniors, Jonathan Lekkerimaki has been a difference maker for the Swedes and he's been showing continuously.
During the Swedes' matchup against the Canadians Lekkerimaki was a true force, but he was even better in their performance against the Fins today. The Canucks top pick in 2022 draft was the forward who played the most minutes for his team again today and he made good use of it.
He once again showed how lethal is wrist shot could, especially on the power play. His playmaking has been on display quite often during the tourney and some would say that it's even been his best attributes:
Their matchup to the Fins ended up going to the shootouts and he made no mistake when he was called upon:
Lekkerimaki had a very slow start last year and many doubted his abilities and the Canucks' selection. It's been quite the contrary this year as Lekkerimaki as grown into a confident offensive threat for every team he played.
