Final additions to rosters for the World Cup of Hockey, announced Friday by the eight participating teams, gave the Kings and the Ducks six representatives each in the tournament, which will be played Sept. 17 to Oct. 1 in Toronto.
Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin was a surprise addition to Team Canada, beating out 2013 Norris trophy winner P.K. Subban of Montreal and Stanley Cup finalist Kris Letang of Pittsburgh. Muzzin’s familiarity with teammate and defense partner Drew Doughty, who previously was named to the 23-man roster, was a key factor in Canada’s decision to include him while greatly changing a cast that won Olympic gold at Sochi in 2014.
