The Canadian team is holding its breath, hoping they’re not next after Alexis Lafreniere left Saturday’s 6-0 loss to Russia. “He had a great scoring chance, fell and I thought maybe he got slashed, but he fell on it or something,” Canadian coach Dale Hunter said. He’s being evaluated right now.”Lafreniere was Canada’s best player and scored the winning goal in Thursday’s victory over the United States. “That’s it.”The depth of the Canadian offence was a question mark before he posted four points in the opener. Now, that concern is magnified again“We’re hoping and praying he’s alright and good to go,” fellow forward Ty Dellandrea said.
