Report: Sabres’ Mittelstadt to play for Team USA at World Championship

Casey Mittelstadt will be adding to his international experience.

The Buffalo Sabres forward and Minnesota native will join Team USA for the upcoming World Championship in Denmark, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Mittelstadt made his NHL debut with the Sabres last month, joining the team after his season wrapped at the University of Minnesota. The 19-year-old has picked up three points in four games with the Sabres.

Buffalo selected Mittelstadt with the eighth pick in last year's draft.

The World Championship begins May 4, with Team USA aiming for its first gold medal since 1960.
