The 2024 World Juniors are underway, and a few star talents have already gotten out to exceptional starts to the competition.
The annual competition features a plethora of future stars of the NHL. In total, there are over 100 draft picks participating at the U20 tournament in Gothenburg, Sweden.
There is no superstar expected to put up historic numbers like Connor Bedard did last year for Canada. The Blackhawks star not only led the 2023 tournament in goals, assists and points, but set multiple Canadian and World Juniors records in the process.
The Sporting News is keeping track of the scoring leaders at the 2024 World Juniors.
