3 Sabres prospects to participate in World Junior Championship this week

The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship ended abruptly last December due multiple teams being affected by COVID-19. Following an eight-month hiatus, the tournament will restart on Tuesday at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
Three Buffalo Sabres prospects are set to participate.

For Team Sweden, 2021 first-round pick Isak Rosen and 2022 seventh-round selection Linus Sjodin will suit up at forward. Rosen recorded one assist in two tournament games back in December.
Center Jiri Kulich, Buffalo's third first-round selection (28th overall) in 2022, will play for Team Czechia. Kulich, who signed his entry-level contract with the Sabres last month, produced one assist in two games for his country in December.
The tournament will open on Tuesday, August 9 when Czechia plays Slovakia at 2 p.m. ET. Every World Junior Championship game telecast is set to air live on NHL Network in the U.S.
