Red Wings' Larkin among trio added to U.S. roster for World Championship
Dylan Larkin is heading to Russia.
The 19-year-old Detroit Red Wings forward was among three players added Monday to the United States' roster for the upcoming World Championship in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
His teammate Luke Glendening as well as New York Rangers defenseman Brady Skjei were also named to the team.
Larkin will take part in his fourth tournament for USA Hockey after winning a bronze medal at the World Championship last spring. He won gold at the world junior tournament in 2014.
Glendening will represent the United States for the first time, while Skjei will do so for a third time.
The American side includes projected first overall pick Auston Matthews, Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Noah Hanifin, and Montreal Canadiens goaltender Mike Condon.
The roster now stands at 11 forwards, six defensemen, and three goaltenders. It will be coached by John Hynes of the New Jersey Devils.
The World Championship takes place May 6-22.
