'I gotta shoot more': Canada's Michael Misa aiming find his range at world juniors

Michael Misa, recovering from an ankle injury, has one assist and three shots in two games at the world junior hockey championship, centering Canada’s top line.

  • Michael Misa, the Canadian centre, is still looking to find his range on the international stage after playing against Latvia at the IIHF World Junior Championship in Minneapolis.
  • Recovering from an early-November ankle injury, Michael Misa played just two games with the San Jose Sharks' AHL affiliate earlier this month and joined Canada late, needing `mileage`.
  • Misa has registered one assist through two games, averaging 17 minutes 35 seconds centring Canada’s top line, while linemates Tij Iginla and Porter Martone combined for 15 shots compared to Misa’s three.
  • On Monday, Canada men's under-20 team will face Denmark following a 13-2 pre-tournament win, while Michael Misa hopes to find his scoring touch after two assists and Canadian assistant coach Gardiner MacDougall said Canada aims to reclaim the podium after quarterfinal exits.
  • His 13-2 pre-tournament win and second-overall draft status mean regaining scoring form affects Canada's medal hopes and his NHL readiness.
