Nashville Predators players are heading to Denmark in flocks like the swallows of Capistrano.

On Friday, the team announced seven of its players would head overseas to take part in the World Championship, but TSN's Ryan Rishaug is reporting one more player is on his way.

New Westminster, British Columbia native Kyle Turris has been added to Canada's roster and will join the team in a few days, per Rishaug.

After a 5-1 trouncing at the hands of Finland, Canada will welcome any reinforcements it can get.

Turris has a wealth of international experience, most recently at the 2014 World Championship, in which he potted three goals and added three helpers in eight games.

In a season split between the Ottawa Senators and the Predators, Turris collected 51 points in 76 games.
