According to Beyond the Blueshirts, three Rangers prospects, Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan and Ryan Bourque have been invited to take part in Team USA’s four game series with Russia’s Under 20 team in Lake Placid.

Kreider and Stepan will get their first chance to play for the U-20 team while Bourque will be in his second go around.

For the Russian side, Evgeny Grachev was not invited to play.

…Good for Kreider and Stepan and Bourque as playing on the international level seems to be very prideful and provide great hockey and experience for them.

As for the Grachev situation, check out Beyond the Blueshirts as more coverage is devoted to it there.
