Several Canadiens players heading for the World Championships

Before the Montreal Canadiens season ended, we already knew that Sven Andrighetto was heading to represent Switzerland at the World Championships. As the locker room clearout day went on today, some more players from the team were confirmed as heading to Russia.

Lars Eller is certainly not a surprise, as he is easily one of the better players to come out of Denmark. He'll likely be a key player for them at the tournament.

Considering that he has been his country's captain in the past, it is equally unsurprising to see Tomas Plekanec added to that team.
