Five players picked in the first round of the 2014 NHL Draft were named Thursday by the Canadian Hockey League to the roster for the Western Hockey League team that will play against Russia in the opening two games of the 2014 Subway Super Series.

The WHL will play Russia in Game 1 of the six-game series Nov. 10 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The second game will be played the following day in Brandon, Manitoba.
