Kundratek replaces Gudas on Team Czech Republic

Tomas Kundratek has been added to Team Czech Republic's World Cup roster.

Kundratek, 26, will fill in for Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas at the upcoming tournament, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com as Gudas is dealing with an upper-body injury and won't participate.

Kundratek split last season between Riga Dynamo and Bratislava Slovan of the KHL, combining for 24 points in 56 games.

Drafted by the New York Rangers in 2008, Kundratek last appeared in the NHL in 2012-13 with the Washington Capitals. He has 30 games of NHL experience, scoring a goal and six assists.

Earlier Sunday, Team Czech Republic named Czech Extraliga winger Michal Birner as the replacement for injured winger Tomas Hertl.
