The 2017 World Juniors can be a catalyst for fans dreaming of future NHL impacts, but there’s also the risk that a prospect might get hurt.

Here’s hoping that Montreal Canadiens defensive prospect Noah Juulsen will avoid any significant issues after a big hit by Dallas Stars prospect Denis Gurianov. Gurianov received a two-minute penalty for the check, which put Russia shorthanded against Canada.
