New York Rangers centerman Chris Kreider will be donning red, white, and blue for Team USA in May's World Championship in Denmark, according to Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

Kreider has suited up for the U.S. in two previous tournaments in 2010 and 2011.

The 26-year-old Massachusetts native is coming off a season in which he registered 16 goals, 21 assists, and a Corsi For rating of 51.5 percent in only 57 games - his season was cut short due to blood clotting and subsequent rib resection surgery.

New York is set to miss the playoffs for only the second time in the last 13 seasons, making Kreider eligible to compete in his third World Championship.
