Oilers’ Hall going to World Championship for 3rd time

Taylor Hall's trading in his Edmonton Oilers jersey for a Canadian one, again.

Hall will represent Canada at the upcoming World Ice Hockey Championship in Moscow and St. Petersburg, he confirmed Friday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Hall's season wraps up Saturday, and it's been a good one, personally. His 64 points are the second-highest of his career, and he needs one goal in the Oilers' final game to match his career high of 27. He's also been healthy, with Saturday's game set to be his 82nd. It'll be the first time in his career he'll hit the mark.

The trip to Russia will be Hall's third World Championship. The tournament runs May 6-22.
