Starting Sunday, the best prospects in hockey will skate against one another at the World Junior Hockey Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. It likely will be a knockout fight between the United States and Canada.

And some of Colorado's best will be front and center.

The who's-who list of future stars is long. Tyson Barrie, the Avalanche's third-round draft pick last year, will play for Canada.

Brock Nelson had 2 goals. He's pretty good at hockey.
