DU sophomore forwards Rhett Rakhshani and Tyler Ruegsegger will not have an opportunity to rest and rejuvenate, not that they are complaining.
The duo flew to Detroit after Saturday's game to begin training with the United States Junior National team for the World Junior Championship.
The team is training in Ann Arbor, Mich., and will play an exhibition against Western Michigan before going to the Czech Republic for the tournament opener against Kazakhstan.
"Any time you get to wear that USA crest, it's really special," Rakhshani said. "It's an exciting experience. It's such a bigger stage and we're really excited."
Ruegsegger and Rakhshani will miss the Pioneers' Denver Cup games but should be back in the lineup when DU resumes WCHA play Jan. 11 against Wisconsin.
