Team Canada's captain Sidney Crosby remains a potential player for Friday's Olympic semifinal match despite leaving Wednesday's game with an injury. The two-time Olympic gold medalist was hurt during a collision in Canada's overtime victory against the Czech Republic.
Team Canada’s hockey coach Jon Cooper indicated Thursday that star captain Sidney Crosby could still participate in Friday’s Olympic semifinal, despite the player exiting Wednesday’s contest due to injury.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star departed the ice carefully during the second period of Canada’s overtime victory against the Czech Republic at Milan’s Santagiulia arena, following a collision with Czech defender Radko Gudas.
“Sid is by no means ruled out of the tournament,” Cooper told reporters. “We are not going to put anybody in harm’s way, but if he can play he will, and we will know more in 24 hours. He’s not been ruled out.”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist’s status will be determined before Canada takes on Finland in their semifinal matchup on Friday.
