Joel Armia - Finland
When the tournament comes to the Bell Center, Finland could become the Canadiens fans' unofficial rooting interest. Laine will have a teammate with Finland, as Joel Armia also made the roster. Armia was a name that popped up on many of the pre-tournament predictions, as he is a player that the coaching staff can plug and play up and down the lineup, just like they do in Montreal.
Armia reaches another level with his offensive game when he represents Finland on the national stage. He has 11 points in 18 career World Championship games, and was a star for the junior team, competing in three different World Junior tournaments, recording 20 points in 19 games. He has also won a World Championship gold medal.
