Backes added to national team roster

Former MSU captain David Backes, whose St. Louis Blues were recently eliminated in the Stanley Cup playoffs, was added to the U.S. National Team roster for the World Championships, which are being held in Switzerland.

Backes' Blues teammate and former North Dakota standout T.J. Oshie was also added to the U.S. team.

I can't help but think that Backes is a virtual lock to make the U.S. Olympic team next winter in Vancouver.
