| Sami Paivarinta | Note | Good recognition to cover the left point after the defender pinches in deep. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
| Sami Paivarinta | Note | Coming back to support the defense, not in a hurry but calling out coverages. Stayed behind the puck carrier though, instead of pushing to catch him. Would have liked more intensity on the backcheck on that play. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
| Sami Paivarinta | Note | Tough to pin down when he has the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
| Sami Paivarinta | Note | Jumps a pass at the blue line, then draws a short-handed penalty shot. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
| Sami Paivarinta | Summary | I liked everything about his game as long as he had the puck or was working in the offensive zone. On defense, he seemed like he understood what he was supposed to be doing, but didn't care a lot about doing it. If he sharpens up and develops play on the defensive side of the puck, he could become a quality second-line winger with scoring potential. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
| Sami Paivarinta | Note | Very good speed, but he seems to only use it on the attack. Still lacking urgency going back to his own end. | Brian Fogarty | Russian vs Finland (2021 World U18s) | Video (With Replay) | 5/6/2021 | 10230 |
