Turcotte, the Kings 2019 first-round pick, recorded two assists in six games and Kaliyev, the Kings 2019 second-round pick, tallied four goals and two assists in six games. The duo returns to the WJC roster, back for redemption after not medaling for first time in five years when USA lost to Finland 1-0 in the quarterfinals.
Faber, a member of the Kings newest draft class, selected 45th overall in the second round will be making his debut on the WJC roster. Currently playing at the University of Minnesota, the defenseman has one goal in four games.

The 29 men named to the roster will report to Plymouth, Michigan on December 6th for training camp. Following camp, USA Hockey will announce the final 25 man roster on December 13, prior to heading to Edmonton for the tournament.
