Sportsnet’s David Morassutti noted Red Wings prospect Carter Mazur’s 2-goal, 1-assist performance in Team USA’s win over Switzerland last night, with Morassutti naming Mazur one of his “Three Stars from Day 3” of the World Junior Championship:
2nd Star: Carter Mazur, USA: Coming into the tournament, Carter Mazur is looking to build off an impressive season at the University of Denver.
While he was in a scoring slump in his first NCAA season, the Detroit Red Wings prospect made a call to his NHL team’s assistant director of player development, Daniel Cleary. After that, he would go on to finish with 14 goals and 38 points in 41 games.
Those tips have now turned Mazur into a scoring machine as he accounted for two of the team’s seven goals and was also named the player of the game as the top line of Mazur, Landon Slaggert, and Thomas Bordeleau had an impressive performance against Switzerland
After a scoreless first period, Mazur wasn’t going to make any mistake on a point-blank chance in front of the net with Mackie Samoskevich making a great pass from behind the net.
…
Through his first two games at the world juniors, Mazur has four points and is tied for sixth in scoring.
