The Canadiens’ season is over, but five members of the team are still plying their trade.
Christopher Higgins was added to the U.S. team for the IIHF World Hockey Championship in Switzerland yesterday, while Tomas Plekanec will represent the Czech Republic and goalie Jaroslav Halak will join the Slovak team.
Brothers Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn declined an invitation to play for Belarus. Sergei is facing shoulder surgery, the result of being driven into the boards by Chicago’s Aaron Johnson on March 31, and you can assume that Andrei balked at playing with Mikhail Grabovski.
