Comparing Day 6 Performances World Juniors.

The St. Louis Blues for last year's 2024 World Juniors came out to seven players representing five countries: the United States, the host country of Sweden, Finland, Czechia, and neighboring Slovakia. The 7 players who attended the 2024 World Juniors were Jimmy Snuggerud (US), Dalibor Dvorsky (SVK), Juraj Pekarcik (SVK), Jakub Stancl (CZE), Aleksanteri Kaskimaki (FIN), Otto Stenberg (SWE), and Theo Lindstein (SWE).

2024 Day 6 performance

The breakdown for day 6 of the event is as follows:

• J. Pekarcik: 0G 0A 0P 19:34 TOI

• D. Dvorsky: 0G 0A 0P 20:32 TOI

• A. Kaskimaki: 0G 0A 0P 20:06 TOI

• J. Snuggerud: IR (sickness)

• T. Lindstein: 1G 0A 1P 19:40 TOI

• O. Stenberg: 1G 0A 1P 13:25 TOI

• J. Stancl: 0G 0A 0P 17:35 TOI

  The big headline to start the night was Snuggerud was scratched due to illness. Every other blues prospect during last year's tournament had their final games of the round robin preliminaries. Lindstein and Stenberg continued to post points with Team Sweden but the rest of the prospects held high ice time but no other points.

2025 Day 6 Performance

Regarding this year's World Juniors being held in Canada, The Blues have a record-setting 9 prospects being called up to represent their home countries. Returning to the World Juniors one last time were Jakub Stancl (CZE), Dalibor Dvorsky (SVK), Juraj Pekarcik (SVK), Theo Lindstein (SWE), and Otto Stenberg (SWE). Joining them this year were newly drafted players Colin Ralph (US), Adam Jiricek (CZE), Ondrej Kos (CZE), and Adam Jecho (CZE).

The breakdown for day 6 of the event is as follows:

• J. Pekarcik: No Game

• D. Dvorsky: No Game

• C. Ralph: 0G 0A 0P 13:11 TOI

• T. Lindstein: 0G 1A 1P 22:37 TOI

• O. Stenberg: 0G 2A 2P 20:12 TOI

• J. Stancl: 0G 0A 0P 20:59 TOI

• A. Jiricek: 0G 1A 1P 18:53 TOI

• O. Kos: 0G 0A 0P 07:52 TOI

• A. Jecho: 0G 1A 1P 08:41 TOI

With Slovakia already done with their round robin schedule this year, the remaining 7 prospects of the Blues had their last round robin games. Colin Ralph still has been kept off the scoresheet for a majority of the tournament. Stancl seems to have cooled off slightly while Jiricek and Jecho have started to get their hits in. Kos is still saying very quiet on the scoresheet and both Lindstein and Stenberg are continuing their consistent point production for team Sweden.
