Sabres' Ryan O'Reilly: Heads to World Championships
O'Reilly has answered the call and will represent Canada at the World Championships, The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis:
This will be the fourth appearance for O'Reilly at the Worlds, and he will likely be the team's third-line center behind Mark Scheifele and Claude Giroux. He was an injury replacement for Canada at the World Cup, and despite failing to register a point in six games, O'Reilly was one of the team's most reliable two-way players. He'll assume a similar role under Team Canada head coach Jon Cooper.
