Earlier on Friday, the United States finalized its roster when it opted to keep hard-hitting defenseman Patrick Sieloff. The announcement gives the United States 23 registered players. Sieloff was chosen as the seventh defender over Boston University's Matt Grzelcyk.
Sieloff, selected in the second round (No. 42 overall) by the Calgary Flames at the 2012 NHL Draft, has nine points and 69 penalty minutes in 34 games with the Ontario Hockey League's Windsor Spitfires this season.
The U.S.-Russia game can be seen live starting at 9 a.m. ET on the NHL Network-US and streaming on NHL.com.
