Red Wings' Danny DeKeyser: Taking part in World Championship

DeKeyser will participate in the World Championship next month, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

DeKeyser will represent the U.S. team in the international tournament, accompanied by fellow Red Wings in forward Dylan Larkin and goaltender Jimmy Howard. It was a trying year for Danny D, as he produced only 12 points (four goals, eight assists) and made his share of mistakes in the defensive zone on the way to a minus-22 rating, but the WMU product did record career highs in hits (100) and blocked shots (170). Still, he'll be a late pick or even waiver fodder in most redraft leagues next season.
