Due to lockouts, Nugent-Hopkins played in the WJC after playing 62 regular season NHL games and Bergeron played in the WJC after playing 71 regular season NHL games and 7 NHL playoff games. The first player who came to mind for me however was Manny Malhotra, who played 96 regular season NHL games before he played at the 2000 tournament. Malhotra missed the 1999 tournament after he was kept in the NHL, but was released for the 2000 tournament.
