from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,

Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin and goalie Alex Lyon were two of the 15 players named to USA’s preliminary roster for the World Championships.

Larkin will be joined up front by Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk, Columbus’ Johnny Gaudreau and Montreal’s Cole Caufield among others. The World Champions is expected to draw more name players this year because the NHL is planing an international tournament next season and will send players to the next Olympic Games.

Lyon is the only NHL goalie named thus far as USA Hockey waits to see which goalies will be available by first round playoff knockouts.
