Seider starring for Team Germany at 2022 IIHF World Championship

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider has already been a force to be reckoned with for Team Germany at the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The 21-year-old defender logged a team-leading 24:13 of ice-time and scored three points for the Germans in their 5–3 loss to Team Canada on the opening day of tournament. Seider also fired a team-high five shots on goal against Canada on Friday. He was not on the ice for any of the five goals allowed by German goaltender Philipp Grubauer. The following day, Seider again played huge minutes (22:35) for Team Germany and was a plus-two in a 2–1 win over Team Slovakia. While Seider has averaged more than 23 minutes per game to start the 2022 Worlds, nobody else on Team Germany has surpassed 21 minutes in either game thus far at the tournament. Seider played a huge role in Germany scoring its first goal of the 2022 Worlds, leading the rush from below his own goal line before taking a hard shot in the attacking zone.
