"Everybody's favourite annual hockey tournament has been in full force for four days now, heading into their fifth day. Team Canada has won all three of their games so far, with one coming in overtime. Meanwhile, both Team Sweden and Team USA are leading the tournament with three wins in regulation. While there hasn't been much to report on from a Toronto Maple Leafs standpoint, prospects Ben Danford and Victor Johansson have been plugging away for Canada and Sweden, respectively."
"Danford has one assist through three games for Canada so far, picking up a secondary assist on a Michael Hage goal against Team Czechia. Outside of that pleasant surprise, he's been used in almost entirely defensive zone situations, even getting his ice time bumped in favour of Keaton Verhoeff, a projected top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, against Denmark."
