Joel Armia - W - Buffalo Sabres
Dec. 31, 2012 - 11:15 AM ET
Joel Armia netted two goals for Finland in a 7-4 loss to Sweden in World Junior Championship action on Monday.
His two-goal effort helped the Finns rally from a 3-0 deficit to even the score, but they eventually fell to the Swedes and now they will have to play in the relegation round. "We tried to have a good start, but we had the opposite," said the Buffalo first-round pick. "It's so hard to win the game when the other team is three goals ahead." Highly-touted 2013 draft prospect Aleksander Barkov posted two assists in the defeat.
