Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle isn't done playing hockey just yet.

Just one day after his team was eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks from the postseason, the 23-year-old was added to the U.S. Men's National Hockey Team at the World Championship.

Coyle recorded 11 goals and 24 assists in 82 regular season games for Minnesota and contributed another two points in 10 postseason contests.

The U.S. - who was stunned by Belarus at the event - recovered to defeat Denmark on Friday and will face Slovenia on Sunday.
