Buffalo Sabres prospect Hudson Fasching will play for the United States at the upcoming World Championship in Russia.

The 20-year-old forward was added to the 2016 roster by USA Hockey on Thursday.

Fasching will represent the U.S. for the fourth time in his career following a pair of appearances in the World Junior Hockey Championships and two years playing at the Under-18 tournament.

He scored a goal in his debut with the Sabres on March 26, and played in seven NHL games after wrapping up his collegiate career at the University of Minnesota.

The U.S. team now boasts nine forwards, five defensemen, and three goaltenders, including recently signed Vancouver Canucks netminder Thatcher Demko.
