Brayden Schenn, Marner added to Canadian roster

CALGARY — The Canadian men’s hockey team added forwards Mitch Marner and Brayden Schenn, defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic and goaltender Chad Johnson to its roster for the upcoming IIHF World Championship on Friday.

The first 18 players were named to the squad last week. The tournament will be held May 5-21 in Paris and Cologne, Germany.

Vlasic, who had 28 points (six goals, 22 assists) this season for the San Jose Sharks, helped Canada win gold at last year’s World Cup of Hockey and the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Marner had 61 points (19-42) in his rookie campaign for the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Schenn had 55 points (25-30) for the Philadelphia Flyers. Johnson posted an 18-15-1 record for the Calgary Flames with three shutouts, a 2.59 goalsagainst average and .910 save percentage.

The Canadian team will hold a pre-tournament camp in Geneva. The defending champions will take on Switzerland in a tune-up game Tuesday ahead of the tournament opener May 5 against the Czech Republic.
