Jääkiekon huippumaa Yhdysvallat matkaa Tshekissä järjestettävään miesten MM-turnaukseen nimekkäällä joukkueella. Yhdysvallat julkisti sunnuntaina pelaajaryhmänsä Prahassa ja Ostravassa järjestettäviin kisoihin, ja NHL-tähtien ohella joukkueessa on tuttuun tapaan myös useita nuoria lupauksia.

Yhdysvaltojen nimekkäimpiä hyökkääjiä ovat muun muassa Ottawan kapteeni Brady Tkachuk, Minnesotan Matt Boldy, Montrealin Cole Caufield sekä Columbuksen Johnny Gaudreau. Vasta 19-vuotiaat yliopistopelaajat Will Smith ja Ryan Leonard ovat myös mukana joukkueessa.

Seth Jones, Zach Werenski ja Jeff Petry tuovat Yhdysvaltojen puolustukseen kokemusta, Luke Hughes ja Jake Sanderson puolestaan nuorta taitoa. New Jerseytä edustava Hughes, 20, teki ensimmäisellä täydellä NHL-kaudellaan 47 tehopistettä ja on ehdolla NHL-kauden parhaaksi tulokkaaksi.

Detroitin Alex Lyon ja 19-vuotias Trey Augustine kantavat Yhdysvaltojen joukkueessa torjuntavastuun. Joukkueen päävalmentajana toimii Minnesota Wildin luotsi John Hynes.

Slovakiassa MM-kuntoaan hiova Yhdysvallat sai leiritykseensä myös huonoja uutisia, sillä Detroitin keskushyökkääjä ja kapteeni Dylan Larkin ei pysty osallistumaan MM-kisoihin loukkaantumisen takia.

Yhdysvallat pelaa MM-turnauksessa Ostravan B-lohkossa, vastustajinaan Ruotsi, Saksa, Slovakia, Ranska, Puola, Kazakstan ja Latvia.

Yhdysvallat on sijoittunut MM-jäillä kahtena viime vuonna neljänneksi.
