OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — The Canadian world junior team is getting back their best offensive weapon just in time for the playoff round. He just looked happy and excited to be back on the ice with his teammates. But after watching him tumble and be helped off the ice Saturday against Russia, some of his teammates were stunned that he has returned this rapidly. “He’s a game-changer,” Cozens, the Sabres first-rounder said, “and a guy who every time he’s on the ice, he’s a threat to score.”Lafreniere led the group stretch in the middle of practice. “He’s close with everyone on the team and kind of brings our group together,” Dellandrea said.
