Predators' Turris to join Canada at World Championship

Nashville Predators players are heading to Denmark in flocks like the swallows of Capistrano.

The lastest is New Westminster, British Columbia native Kyle Turris, Hockey Canada officially announced Saturday.

After a 5-1 trouncing at the hands of Finland on Saturday, Canada will welcome any reinforcements it can get.

Turris has a wealth of international experience, most recently at the 2014 World Championship, in which he potted three goals and added three helpers in eight games.

In a season split between the Ottawa Senators and the Predators, Turris collected 51 points in 76 games.
