With the majority of the IIHF World Junior teams announcing their final rosters, most players have secured their spots. However, a few clubs are still finalizing their players, which could prove advantageous for two Blackhawks prospects.

It was announced on Friday that Chicago Blackhawks prospects Michal Teply and Michael Krutil had made the 28-man roster for their native Czech Republic, giving them a chance to play in the upcoming World Junior tournament.
