TSN’s Mark Masters is following Team Canada at the World Junior Championship in Edmonton, and he filed an expansive report today which noted the following ahead of tonight’s exhibition game vs. Sweden, in which Sebastian Cossa stopped 8 of 11 shots while splitting time in Team Canada’s 4-3 win over Sweden (which received goals from William Wallinder and Theodor Niederbach):
[Sebastian] Cossa, who stands 6-foot-6, is also riding a wave of confidence after backstopping the Oil Kings to the WHL title.
“It was a good experience for me going on that long playoff run and getting a championship under my belt,” the Detroit Red Wings prospect said. “There were a lot of ups and downs in that playoff run.”
Cossa went 16-3 with a .919 save percentage in the WHL postseason. What’s he doing better now versus December?
“Just keeping my feet underneath me and being set for every single puck,” he said. “My hands have also gotten better because of that.”
