Three More Rangers Added to World Championship Rosters

Three more Rangers solidified their spots at the 2018 World Championships on Sunday, with Lias Andersson and Mika Zibanejad being added to Sweden's initial roster, and Filip Chytil to the Czech Republic's.
Andersson, 19, is appearing in his first World Championship tournament after representing Sweden twice at the World Junior Championships, including serving as captain on the squad that took the silver medal earlier this year.

The 2017 first-round pick has nine goals and three assists for 12 points in 13 games, including six goals in seven games this year. Prior to playing on Sweden's U20 squads, Andersson posted five goals and nine points in seven games at the 2016 U18s, and four points in six games the year prior at the U17s.
Like Andersson, Zibanejad is appearing in his first World Championships. The 25-year-old last represented Sweden at the 2012 World Juniors, when he scored the game's only goal in overtime against Russia to capture the gold medal.
