<p>Coronato, 19, was the Flames&#8217; first-round pick (13th overall) in the 2021 NHL Draft. He&#8217;s heading into his sophomore year with Harvard University after leading the team in scoring during his freshman season. He was named his conference&#8217;s playoff MVP after clutch scoring from Coronato led Harvard to win the tournament. From February onward, Coronato was one of the top players in all of American college hockey.</p>
<p>Coronato was named to Team USA for the original instalment of the 2022 World Juniors, but that event was cancelled a few days in due to a rash of COVID-19 positive cases throughout several teams. Coronato has been used on a line with Toronto prospect Matt Knies and Arizona prospect Logan Cooley for several pre-tournament games, serving as Team USA&#8217;s second forward line.</p>
<p>The United States will play in Group B during the World Juniors, playing against Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Austria in the round robin. The tournament runs Aug. 9-20 at Rogers Place in Edmonton.</p>
