Kravtsov_Draft_2

Three Rangers prospects, including 2018 first round pick Vitali Kravtsov, will take part in the U20 Four Nations Tournament slated to begin Friday in Sweden.

Kravtsov, whom the Rangers selected ninth overall in June's draft, was among 23 players selected to represent Russia in the two-day tournament.
Kravtsov, 18, had seven points in 35 games with Traktor of the Kontinental Hockey League last season before registering 11 points in 16 postseason contests.
Two Rangers defensemen, 2018 draft choice Jacob Ragnarsson, and 2017 pick Calle Sjalin, were among Sweden's choices for the tournament.
Ragnarsson, 18, skated in 47 games last season with Almtuna of Allsvenskan when he posted four goals and nine assists for 13 points. Sjalin, also 18, split last season between Leksands J20 squad in Sweden's SuperElit, as well as Leksands' squad in Allsvenskan.
In addition to Russia and Sweden, the Czech Republic and Finland will round out the four-team event. Russia and Sweden face off to begin the tournament on Friday.
