Klimchuk finished the night with an assist, a +2 rating, and an injury.
He hobbled off the ice with roughly eight minutes remaining in the game after getting into a collision behind the Russian net. He did not play another shift after that.
Hopefully it is just a minor issue and won't keep him out of any action moving forward.
On the whole I thought he was absolutely fantastic tonight. His "200" foot game is very polished for a player his age, and while he may not be the biggest guy out there he sure likes to finish his checks. I would say he was the best player on the forecheck for team WHL.
