2021 World Junior Recap: Day 7

It was a battle of two undefeated teams with top spot in Group A on the line as Canada took on Finland on New Year's Eve.
It was also the first time in the tournament that the three Jets prospects playing in the event - Cole Perfetti, Ville Heinola, and Henri Nikkanen - squared off against each other.
In the end, Perfetti's Canadian squad earned a 4-1 win over Finland, giving them a perfect 4-0-0 record and top spot in Group A. It was also an early birthday present for the 18-year-old, who celebrates his 19th birthday on New Year's Day.

Perfetti had three shots on goal and played 17:22 in the win.
It was a tough night for Heinola, who was injured in the third period after blocking a wrist shot off his hand. The 19-year-old had consistently led his team in ice time throughout the tournament, so his loss on the blue line was significant for Finland with the medal round looming.

As for Nikkanen, the fourth-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft had one shot on goal in 13:19 of ice time.
The quarterfinal round begins on Jan. 2.
