Sharks on 4 nations’ rosters
The U.S. will be led by Chicago winger Patrick Kane and Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and feature a blue line with Ryan Suter of the Wild and Ryan McDonagh of the Rangers.
Canada will have a very familiar feel for coach Mike Babcock as 12 of the first 16 players selected to the roster won gold with him at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, including goaltender Carey Price of the Canadiens, who has been out of NHL action with an injury.
General manager Doug Armstrong said he gave Price the choice of how to proceed with the roster, and the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner wanted to be on it.
Subban played sparingly in Sochi, and Armstrong mentioned that Babcock likes having players he can put on the ice in all situations.
