Canada defenseman Shea Theodore is out for the rest of the 4 Nations Face-Off because of injury
MONTREAL (AP) — Canada defenseman Shea Theodore is out for the rest of the 4 Nations Face-Off because of injury.
Theodore injured his right wrist or forearm when he got crunched into the glass on a hit by Sweden’s Adrian Kempe in the second period of the tournament opener Wednesday night.
Coach Jon Cooper did not mince words after his team’s overtime victory about Theodore being ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. Cooper said it was a tough loss and took solace in the fact that Theodore at least got to skate a few minutes in an elite international competition.
It’s not clear how long Theodore, who plays for the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL, might be out. Cooper would not reveal the injury.
