More players coming to the World Championship

12 May 2013 | Fredrik Pålsson

Czech Republic, USA, Finland and Switzerland all add players from the NHL.

For the Czech Republic Tomas Plekanec and Marek Zidlicky will arrive for the game against Norway on Tuesday. That might be the only they'll will play as the Czechs could miss the playoff round.

USA adds forwards Alex Galchenyuk and T.J. Oshie while young gun Mikael Granlund will join Finland's roster at the tournament.

For Switzerland they will add Montreal defender Raphael Diaz to the team that has done so well so far. Smart to change a winning team? We will see.
