Slafkovsky averaged a point-per-game in the round-robin, tallying a goal and six assists in seven games. He didn't live up to the hype of his past International experiences, but he did enough to get Slovakia to the playoff round.

It won't get any easier for Slafkovsky and Slovakia, as they get the unfortunate draw of taking on Team Canada. Slovakia has pulled off some upsets in the past few years in International tournaments, and they could get one more against Kaiden Guhle and Canada.
