Marian Hossa is set to join Slovakia at the world championship after the early exit of defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks from the playoffs, according to an Associated Press report. Hossa, who had 25 goals and 32 assists this season, will boost Slovakia’s chances of adding to its lone world title in 2002. The Slovak team announced on Saturday that Hossa will be available for Sunday’s game against Germany in Group A in Bratislava.
