Trey Augustine leads the way for the United States
Leading the way for Team USA between the pipes is goaltender Trey Augustine, whom many are billing as the potential Red Wings goaltender of the future alongside Sebastian Cossa.
Having already led the United States to the gold medal last year, Augustine is hoping for a repeat performance. He's also enjoying a tremendous year with the Michigan State Spartans with a 11-2-1 record; he has a 1.98 GAA and .930 SV%.
Not to be overlooked is Max Plante, a 2024 second-round NHL Entry Draft pick of the Red Wings
Axel Sandin-Pellikka hopes to impress yet again
The exciting young blue line prospect for the Red Wings could be one of the next great Swedish players to wear the Winged Wheel.
He's the captain for Team Sweden, and was also named the tournament's top defenseman last year.
Newly acquired forward Jesse Kiiskinen hopes to make an impact for Team Finland
Acquired by the Red Wings in a trade with the Nashville Predators that sent Andrew Gibson to Music City, Kiiskinen has 22 points (8G, 14A) for HPK in SM-liiga so far this year.
