Orlov was called up to Team Russia's World Championship roster Thursday

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman will join teammate Evgeny Kuznetsov on Team Russia after another early-exit from the NHL playoffs in Wednesday's 2-0 loss the Penguins in Game 7. Following a career-high 33 points in 82 games in the 2016-17 season, his presence should give the Russian blueline a boost.
