If you’ve been keeping tabs on who’s going to the tournament you’ll already know that five New York Islanders players were named to their respective team’s rosters.

For Team USA both Anders Lee and Brock Nelson will make an appearance. Both were on the team in 2015 where Nelson was the more prolific of the two, with ten points in 10 games on their way to a Bronze. Maybe we tell Brock that he’s always playing for Team USA? Just a thought.

For the Germans, Thomas Greiss and Dennis Seidenberg will be participating. It’s been nine years since Seidenberg played for the German team at the Wolrd Championship. A lot has changed for the German national team since then.
