The season is over for the Nashville Predators, but Eeli Tolvanen isn't ready for a break, as the first-year forward will join Finland for the remainder of the World Championship, the team announced Friday.

Tolvanen headed to the Predators in March after finishing his KHL season with Jokerit, for whom he tallied 36 points in 49 games.

The native of Vihti, Finland, appeared in just three games for the Predators, and was held off the scoresheet in each contest. He didn't dress for any of Nashville's 13 playoff games.

The Preds selected Tolvanen with the 30th pick in the 2017 draft.

Finland has won three of its four games thus far at this year's World Championship.
