"The last time I was on the ice was January 15. What do you think?" - Juraj Slafkovsky

Wow the CH rookie forward gave a very direct answer, but it was justified.

The Tricolore's number 20 also added this:

"We have so many good players in Slovakia who have played. It would be a little weird if I added to the team. It would have been different if I had games at the end of the season, but I wouldn't have enough time to be the best version of myself." - Juraj Slafkovsky

The Slovakian team will most likely miss him, he had nine points, including three goals in eight games in last year's edition.
