During a World Junior Championship game, USA defenseman Cole Hutson was stretchered off after being hit in the back of the head by a puck. Fortunately, he was evaluated at a hospital but never lost consciousness and was discharged shortly after, rejoining his teammates. USA Hockey has reported Hutson is day-to-day, with a possibility of returning for their next game on Monday. Known for his standout performance last season, his absence would impact Team USA’s lineup significantly.
