Team Canada gets brutal injury news immediately after win over Sweden

In case you missed it last night, Canada managed to squeak out a 4-3 OT victory over Sweden in a very entertaining opening game of the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Canadian captain Sidney Crosby managed to post 3 points in the game, earning himself 1st Star status. It was an energetic, high flyin game with plenty of scoring chances right from the opening puck drop. In other words: Best on best hockey is back! It's been a literal generation since we've witnessed best on best competition in this sport and fans were loving it last night.

It wasn't all good news for Canada and its fans last night though, Canadian defenseman Shea Theodore left the game in the 1st period with an apparent hand or wrist injury.

Here's how the injury occurred:

Theodore did not return to action and after the game head coach Jon Cooper told reporters that Theodore is done for the tournament.

Incidentally, Canada will have to go with six defenders for the rest of the tournament as they are not allowed to call in any reinforcements. Unless the team gets down to five defenders, they cannot make any emergency additions.
