Canadiens' Tomas Plekanec: Heading to Worlds

Plekanec will join the Czech Republic for the 2017 IIHF World Championships, Zdenek Matejovsky of Czech TV Nova reports.

Analysis:

Not only will Plekanec suit up for his country, he is expected to serve as the captain. The 34-year-old started the postseason off strong with three points in the opening three outings, but was held off the scoresheet for Games 4-6. The center experienced a significant drop in production this past year as he managed just 28 points -- the lowest total of his career.
