The Russians were told that Slava Voynov was not eligible to play in the World Cup when the rosters were announced, he is suspended in the NHL and since this is an NHL/NHLPA tournament, their suspensions hold water for this tournament. On Monday, the Russian team announced that Tampa Bay defenseman Nikita Nesterov will take his spot on the roster, thus filling the necessary gap.Nesterov is currently a restricted free agent for the Lightning and last year he had 3 goals and 9 points in 57 games.
