Cozens takes command
Dylan Cozens has a chance to rewrite the record books.
Recording at least one point all six appearances at the 2021 World Junior Championship, the Lethbridge Hurricanes centre has been the offensive go-to for a loaded Canadian squad, recording eight goals and eight assists for 16 points and a tie atop the leaderboard in overall tournament scoring.
It’s a feat so impressive that historically only four Canadian players – Dale McCourt, Brayden Schenn, Eric Lindros, and Wayne Gretzky – have had better single-tournament performances, with the first two clocking in at 18 points and the latter two one behind. Another three-point night by Cozens – something he has done twice previously this year including Monday’s one-goal, two-assist showing in a 5-0 semi-final victory versus Russia – in the gold-medal showdown would see the product of Whitehorse, Yukon take possession of top spot.
