Foligno has agreed to play for Team USA at the World Championships next month in Russia, The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

He wasn't able to come close to duplicating his breakout 2014-2015 campaign, and Foligno finished the season with just 12 goals and 37 points in 72 games. He still figures to fill a top-six role with the team to begin 2016-2017, but another slow start could see him slide down the depth chart as young players like Oliver Bjorkstrand and Sonny Milano push for spots on the NHL roster.
