"I talked to Kronwall the other day and he feels a lot better," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland told NHL.com on Tuesday. "He's had much better training sessions this summer than he had last summer. He feels his leg is stronger and he's done some things to be more prepared physically for the upcoming season."
Eight teams -- Team Canada, Team Czech Republic, Team Europe, Team Finland, Team North America, Team Russia, Team Sweden and Team USA -- will compete in the two-week tournament. All games will be played at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, home of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
All games will be televised by ESPN in the United States, and Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada.
