Attack’s Petrovsky ready for World Junior action with Slovakia
Servac Petrovsky hits international ice today, representing Slovakia at the 2022 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton, Alta.
The Owen Sound Attack forward and Minnesota Wild prospect will play a big role for his country, coming off 28 goals, 26 assists and 54 points in 64 games as a rookie with the Attack in 2021-22. Petrovsky was chosen by Minnesota in the sixth round of the NHL Draft last month.
Turning 18 on Wednesday, Petrovsky helped Slovakia win silver at the 2021 Hlinka Gretzky Cup last summer, recording five points (1-4–5) in as many games.
Slovakia takes on Czechia in their World Junior tournament opener on Tuesday at 2:00pm ET.
