Milan – Canada’s captain Sidney Crosby is out for his team’s semifinal against Finland on Friday, after leaving Wednesday’s quarterfinal game against Czech Republic injured.
Connor McDavid will serve as captain while Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon will serve as alternates, Hockey Canada said on Friday.
Coach Jon Cooper had told reporters on Thursday that Crosby was “by no means ruled out of the tournament” but that it was too soon to comment on when he would return.
