Lafreniere injury may not be as bad as initially feared | TSN
Doctors continued to review the MRI on Lafreniere’s left knee on Saturday night, but sources indicated the initial prognosis provided a glimmer of hope that Lafreniere may even be able to return to play in this tournament.
Lafreniere was seen returning to Team Canada’s hotel with a limp, but without the need for crutches.
This is excellent news because it did not look very good when the injury occurred.

Around the League
Winter Classic ice crew unsung heroes of NHL outdoor event | NHL.com
Come game day, when the forecast calls for clouds and 54 degrees Fahrenheit, the ice will be a product of countless hours of work behind the scenes, an honor and a labor of love for 14 crewmen with deep expertise and varied experience. Most have been here since Dec. 16 with a brief break for Christmas. Five stayed through the holiday, three on Santa’s schedule.
The novelty of outdoor hockey games has definitely worn off a bit these days, but I am looking forward to seeing the Predators and Stars hit the ice down in Texas. It should be a cool visual.
