Probably the best overall performance can be attributed to Karlis Skrastins. The Panthers' defenseman (and looming UFA) served as Latvia's captain, had a goal and an assist and was chosen by the coaches as one of his country's three best players.
Skrastins' fellow countryman Janis Sprukts, while named Latvia's player of the game when they took on Sweden, didn't crack the list for Latvia and neither Rostislav Olesz (Czech) nor Keith Ballard (USA) made those lists for their respective countries.
Nevertheless, it was good to see these guys playing a little more after the season here in Florida came to an end.
So, with that, I'll move the table to a post where it might look slightly less tacky.
| NAME | GP | G | A | Pts. | PIM | +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keith Ballard (USA) | 9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | +3 |
| Karlis Skrastins (LAT) | 7 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | +2 |
| Rostislav Olesz (CZE) | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | +1 |
| Janis Sprukts (LAT) | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
