A number of the Nashville Predators' core players have elected not to hang up their skates just yet.
A day after being eliminated in a blowout Game 7 by the Winnipeg Jets, seven members of the Predators signed on to play at the World Championship, the team confirmed.
Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, and Mattias Ekholm will join Sweden, Roman Josi and Kevin Fiala will play for Switzerland, Nick Bonino will represent the Americans, and Eeli Tolvanen will suit up for Finland.
Sweden and the United States currently lead their respective groupings, while Switzerland sits tied for third in Group A and Finland ranks third in Group B.
