Number 20 of the Montreal Canadiens can be proud of himself despite Slovakia's elimination.
Today against Canada, Slovakia simply didn't have the talent and depth to compete, even though Slaf really tried.
He finished the game with an assist and was involved in every battle.
He had quite a tournament, especially marked by an improbable victory against the United States and Cole Caufield.
Slafkovsky returns home with a total of 8 points in 8 games.

Congratulations on your tournament, Juraj!
