For anyone with a lot of time (and the correct Internet URLs), it’s a great day to follow Kings prospects on the first day of the World Junior Championships.

Russia, with Viatcheslav Voynov, plays Latvia at 11:30 a.m. Pacific time. Sweden, with Oscar Moller, plays Finland at 3:30 p.m. and Canada, with Thomas Hickey and Colten Teubert, plays the Czech Republic at 4:30. Also, the United States plays Germany at 12:30 p.m. and…the Kings host Phoenix at 7:30 p.m.

(Note: NHL Network will televise the Canada and USA games…)
