One of two New York Islanders prospects competing at the World Junior Championship tournament will be leaving with a medal.
Defensemen Matias Rajaniemi earned a Bronze Medal, after Team Finland knocked off Russia for third place yesterday, by a score of 4-1.
Congrats to Matias Rajaniemi and 🇫🇮 for capturing the bronze medal at #WorldJuniors!

Walking away empty handed, however, will be Simon Holmstrom. Despite tallying five points in five games, Holmstrom’s tournament ended when Sweden lost to Finland in the quarterfinals. Holmstrom won’t be eligible to play again in next year’s tournament.
