Summary
Sandis Vilmanis is dominating on the international stage and proving he’s NHL-ready, with four goals and 11 points in seven games for Latvia at the IIHF World Championship, including a two-goal performance against Hungary. The 22-year-old Panthers fifth-round pick, who made his NHL debut in January, is on track for a full-time roster spot next season after a breakout pro season with AHL Charlotte, where he tallied 17 goals and 38 points in 48 games. Meanwhile, other Panthers stars like Matthew Tkachuk, Sasha Barkov, and Anton Lundell are also making waves internationally, with Team USA, Finland, and Latvia advancing to the quarterfinals. Vilmanis is the breakout star to watch as the NHL season nears. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
