O'Reilly replaces Seguin on Canada's World Cup roster

In the wake of Tyler Seguin's injury, Team Canada has named Buffalo Sabres forward Ryan O'Reilly to its World Cup roster, Hockey Canada announced Tuesday.

The 25-year-old is coming off one of his most productive NHL seasons, recording 21 goals and 39 assists in 71 games. He's a left-handed, natural center, and won 56.5 per cent of faceoffs in 2015-16.

O'Reilly's also won back-to-back gold medals with Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship and earned the Lady Byng trophy in 2014.

"It's never easy to lose a player to injury, let alone one of Tyler's caliber, but once again, it speaks to the depth of talent in the country to be able to add a Ryan O'Reilly to our team," Team Canada general manager Doug Armstrong said.
