There's also Tumoas Uronen representing Finland
Finland has had a similar problem with Canada during the 2025 World Juniors. They're ninth in scoring proficiency, only to be carried by excellent defense and goaltending. A measly shooting percentage of 6.37% and 12.50% power play will do that. However, that doesn't mean the Finns don't have anybody who can score goals.
Enter Tuomas Uronen, a forward who has one goal and one assist during the showcase. In fact, that one goal was the game-winner against the United States during preliminary play, giving the Finns a 4-3 win.

The 19-year-old showed the hockey world what he could do with the Vegas Golden Knights with a burst of speed and a hard shot. Imagine seeing the Finnish forward with players like Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar, scoring on odd-man rushes. That would be a nightmare scenario for any goaltender defending this. But let's steer back to the United States for a second since there's one more Golden Knights star to look at.
