Chicago Blackhawks forwards Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat will play for the United States at the World Championship, according to The Athletic's Scott Powers.

Even though the Hawks had a down season, Kane was once again a stalwart, as he led the club with 76 points in 82 games. He brings a wealth of international experience to the table, and will serve as team captain for what will likely be a youthful American team.

The 20-year-old DeBrincat led Chicago with 28 goals in his rookie season, and finished right behind Kane with 52 points.

The tournament begins May 4 in Copenhagen and Herning, Denmark.
