The early rosters for the World Cup of Hockey were released in March, and several members of the St. Louis Blues were represented. Alexander Steen, Vladimir Tarasenko, Jori Lehtera, and former Blue Vladimir Sobotka were all asked to represent their respective countries. Today, a few more joined their ranks.
The Czech team has added Dmitrij Jaskin to their roster. Jaskin joins former teammates Sobotka and Roman Polak on a deep team that is fairly solid.
Team USA finished their roster off with the addition of Blues captain and two time olympian David Backes.
