Finished for Juraj Slafkovsky and Slovakia; Canada moves on to the next round and the semifinals
Number 20 for the Montreal Canadiens can be proud of himself despite Slovakia's elimination.
Today against Canada, Slovakia simply did not have the talent and depth to compete, even though Slaf really tried.
He finished the game with an assist, and he was in every battle.
He had quite a tournament, a tournament notably marked by an improbable victory against the United States and Cole Caufield.
Slafkovsky returns home with a total of 8 points in 8 games.
