Rymsha isn't as offensively gifted as Ruzicka but he is a better 2 way player than Ruzicka right now. Which is why Sarnia uses him on the PP, PK and EV.
Rymsha was also skipped over in the 2016 draft in his first draft eligible season, so he is about 9 months older than Ruzicka.
There's a citywide power outage in Tri-City's hometown so all of the score updating hasn't gone through. I do know that the Americans won 4-3 in OT. No idea if Valimaki or Dube contributed anything.

Great game last night, Valimaki played great, had a goal on a wrister from the top of the circle and an assist. He was selected as first star of the game.
Nothing from Dube

Don't know how to post a gif from twitter, but Valimaki scored a beauty goal tonight. Between the legs top shelf on a breakaway. Hopefully someone can post it. Also had an assist in the game.
I am looking at Valimaki and he seems like he is very aggressive in his positioning always high up in the attack. But the way he does things looks like he is bored. He will be our Monny on the back end, putting the puck in the net and making sure it gets there, but it will be done the same boring way Monny does! Id love to see them together. Hopefully, we see him up with the flames in 2 years!

He has Dube as the only lock for LW (which is no surprise). Phillips battling with Tippet, Suzuki, Lind, etc for one of 2 RW spot after the locks of Raddysh and Kyrou:

The battle for right wing positions could be particularly heated. Beyond Raddysh and Kyrou, strong challenges are expected to be mounted from Tippett, if he's made available, and Vegas Golden Knight prospect Nick Suzuki of the Owen Sound Attack. Diminutive (5-foot-7, 155 pounds) Calgary Flames prospect Matthew Phillips of the Victoria Royals has been dynamic and prolific this season in the WHL and will get a long look, as will Vancouver Canuck prospect Kole Lind of Kelowna, Montreal Canadien prospect Will Bitten of the Hamilton Bulldogs and Florida Panther prospect Adam Mascherin of the Kitchener Rangers.
On the left side, beyond Dube, the competition appears wide open. Vancouver prospect Jonah Gadjovich of Owen Sound, Tampa prospect Boris Katchouk of the Soo Greyhounds, Ottawa prospect Alex Formenton of the London Knights and St. Louis prospect Tanner Kaspick of Brandon are all viable candidates. Technically, so are Edmonton Oiler prospect Tyler Benson of the Vancouver Giants and Detroit Red Wing prospect Givani Smith of the Guelph Storm, although injuries have hampered them greatly. Benson has played in only four games this season; Smith has yet to play because of a high-ankle sprain.
