Bobrovsky will play for Team Russia when they host the World Championships next month, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

He'll get a chance to shake off what was his worst season in the NHL, as Bobrovsky battled through multiple groin injuries and managed just 15 wins in 37 games with a 2.75 GAA and .908 save percentage. Assuming he can stay healthy in 2016-2017, though, he should be able to rebound behind a young and improving Columbus blue line corps.
