Newhook almost started the game with a bang… horn sounded, looking to see if his shot went in

Alex Newhook (COL) looks healthy and like he just scored a goal.

What a play by Byfield there, who was stopped by Askarov.
— Lauren Kelly (@laurkelly24) January 5, 2021
Here’s a friendly tip to anyone playing against Quinton Byfield. Do not try and get the puck out of your own zone by using the boards. It simply will not happen. Sorry, I don’t make the rules #WorldJuniors #LAKings

Askarov is out
