Rielly captured a gold medal at the World Championships, playing in all 10 games for Canada and recording a goal -- a game-winner -- and three points. He led Canada in ice time in four of his 10 games, including a semifinal win over the United States and a win over Finland in the gold medal game where he put in 25:53 on the blueline. He was named a Player of the Tournament for Team Canada.
Komarov took home a silver medal from the Worlds following a 2-0 loss to Canada in the gold medal game. Despite what was surely a disappointing result for the Finns, Komarov had a quality showing at the 2016 edition of the tournament.
