Penguins forward Colby Armstrong was added to Team Canada's roster for the IIHF World Championships which begin in Russia Friday.

The right winger had 12 goals, 22 assists, 34 points, 67 penalty minutes and was a plus-2 in 80 games for the Penguins this past season. He joins teammate Jordan Staal on the Canadian roster.

Other Penguins playing in the tournament include Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar (Russia), Jarkko Ruutu (Finland) and Ronald Petrovicky (Slovakia). Sidney Crosby received an invitation to play for Canada but declined due to a broken left foot.
