Rousseau solid in goal, Canada downs Finland 5-2 in world junior opener
GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Mathis Rousseau was passed over in consecutive NHL drafts.
Owen Allard didn’t hear his name last June.
Macklin Celebrini, meanwhile, is expected to go No. 1 in 2024.
Three players with very different career trajectories were key in Canada’s victory to open the world junior hockey championship Tuesday.
