Gaudreau headed to worlds, Giordano considering it

Johnny Gaudreau wants to play more hockey this season.

His NHL season over after the Calgary Flames were swept in the first round by the Anaheim Ducks, Gaudreau confirmed Friday he'll be going to represent the U.S. at the world championship tournament in Germany and France.

Gaudreau was limited to only two assists in four games against the Ducks. He played at the worlds in 2014, recording two goals and eight assists in eight games.

Meanwhile, Gaudreau's teammate and Flames captain Mark Giordano is mulling over his participation for Team Canada, and will take two or three days to decide, according to Sportsnet's Roger Millions.
