Report: Gaudreau will play for USA at World Championship

Johnny Hockey is going to Denmark.

With the Calgary Flames failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Johnny Gaudreau has reportedly decided to represent Team USA at the upcoming IIHF World Championship, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.

Gaudreau went home immediately upon season's end to be with his father following the latter's recent health scare, but an NHL source confirmed to Custance that he'll indeed be participating in the annual tournament.

The offensively gifted winger has played for Team USA at the World Championship twice before, recording eight goals and 13 assists in 16 games.
