A pair of Philadelphia Flyers will be representing their home countries at the upcoming World Championship.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare will play for France, while Christian Marti is joining team Switzerland, the Flyers announced Thursday.
Bellemare led all Flyers forwards in shorthanded ice time and collected 14 points in 74 games this season. Since 2003, he's only missed one opportunity to represent France in the tournament, and that was due to injury last season.
Marti spent most of his 2015-16 campaign with the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms, appearing in 27 games. He also played in two contests for the ECHL's Reading Royals.
The World Championship begins Friday in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia.
