Phil Kessel of the Boston Bruins reportedly will not be a part of the United States team at the World Junior Hockey Championship, according to a report on TSN. Kessel, 19, led the U.S. team and the tournament in scoring at last year's WJC, with a 1-10-11 line in 7 games. Pittsburgh's rookie star Evgeni Malkin was second with 10 points. The U.S. roster will be announced tonight between the second and third periods of the Chicago at Minnesota game on the Versus network. That's expected to be around 9:40. The roster will also be available at usahockey.com/ Two Providence Bruins, Petr Kalus and David Krejci, are listed on the Czech Republic's roster. However, Kalus is out with a knee injury and may not be healthy in time for the tournament, which opens the day after Christmas. Other Bruins prospects who are expected to play in the tournament are Finland's Tukka Rask and Mikko Lehtonen. Brad Marchand has been invited to Canada's training camp.
