Tyler Johnson is honored to be playing for Team USA at the 2014 World Hockey Championships. "Any time you can wear the red, white and blue, it's a tremendous honor," said Johnson. "I had a great time doing it at World Juniors, and obviously, I wish we were in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but for me to have this opportunity is something special, and it's going to be a lot of fun." The United States will open the tournament on Friday against host country Belarus.
