Patrik Laine - Finland
Patrik Laine may have been the most surprising selection for the Four Nations Faceoff, as most expected Finland to leave him off after missing most of last season and playing only one game this season after his knee injury. However, Finand's front office remembers Laine's dominance with Team Finland in his younger years and figured they'd take a chance on the sniper. Will the coaching staff reunite Laine with Sebastian Aho from their World Junior days and hope to find the same magic?
Laine has 12 points in ten career World Championship games with Finland, but starred in his one World Junior tournament with 13 points in seven games.
