Samuel Honzek was off to a great start with the Vancouver Giants during his NHL draft season when disaster struck at the World Juniors. The Slovak winger had his left calf sliced by a skate when American Charlie Stramel knocked him to the ice and then accidentally stepped on his leg in a game on Dec. 28. Honzek finished No. 17 on TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie s final list of top prospects, which was up two spots from the mid-season ranking. The native of Trencin, Slovakia is on track to be picked on the opening night of the draft on Wednesday in Nashville.
