Blackhawks winger Dominik Kahun joined the German national team late last week for next month’s World Championship in Slovakia. German national coach Toni Soderholm also added Anaheim’s Korbinian Holzer and Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl to the team.
Kahun scored 13 goals and 37 points in his rookie season for the Blackhawks after signing with the team following his third full season with EHC Munchen in Germany’s top league. The 23-year-old’s six penalty minutes also tied Colorado’s Sam Girard for the league-low among skaters with 82 games played.
Kahun will make his fourth consecutive World Championship appearance.
