Golden Knights prospect Brendan Brisson was named to Team USA’s 25-player roster for the 2021 World Junior Championship on Saturday.
Brisson was a first-round pick in the most recent NHL draft. The forward from Manhattan Beach, California, has two goals and seven points in eight games as a freshman at Michigan.
Brisson is one of three players from the Knights’ system who will participate in the tournament. Forward Peyton Krebs and defenseman Kaedan Korczak were named to Canada’s roster Friday.
The World Junior Championship runs Dec. 25 through Jan. 5 in Edmonton, Alberta, and will be broadcast on NHL Network.
