Dube, 22, had a goal and an assist in Wednesday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks before exiting around the midway point of the second period after a collision with Travis Hamonic in the corner.

The Golden, B.C., native had career highs in goals (11), assists (11) and points (22) in 51 games this season, his third with the Flames since being selected in the second round (56th overall) in 2016.

Dube’s teammate Andrew Mangiapane is also among the players selected to represent Canada at the tournament, which gets underway on May 21 in Riga, Latvia.
