Ducks’ defenseman LaCombe added to U.S. Olympic roster

Jackson LaCombe is an Olympian.

The Ducks’ No. 1 defenseman will skate for the Americans in Milan after USA Hockey announced in a news release that LaCombe had been selected to replace injured Florida Panthers rearguard Seth Jones.

Jones appeared to break his collarbone after being struck by a puck during Jan. 2’s Winter Classic against the New York Rangers. His lingering recovery opened a window of opportunity for LaCombe, who was in camp with Team U.S.A. during the offseason.
