Evan Bouchard will miss the remainder of the IIHF World Championship after sustaining an injury from a hit by Ryan Lindgren during the quarterfinals against the U.S., confirmed by Oilers GM Stan Bowman. Lindgren received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the illegal check, while Bouchard required assistance to leave the ice and did not return. Bowman stated that Bouchard is injured but doing well, and the situation could have been worse. Canada will face Finland in the semifinals on Saturday, with the gold-medal game scheduled for Sunday.
