Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has been added to the American World Championship roster, USA Hockey announced Thursday.
McAvoy's schedule opened up following a second-round elimination at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He joins Boston teammates David Pastrnak and David Krejci, who will represent the Czech Republic in Copenhagen.
The 20-year-old finished his first full NHL season with 32 points in 63 games, and added five more in 12 postseason contests. McAvoy suited up for the U.S. at last year's tournament as well, and won a gold medal at the world juniors in 2017.
