Canada's captain and star player, Sidney Crosby, was forced to leave the quarterfinal against the Czech Republic (4-3 after overtime) on Wednesday with a lower-body injury after being tackled by Radko Gudas. Crosby then missed Friday's semifinal against Finland (3-2) but practiced with the team on Saturday, the day before the final.
The Olympic final begins today at 2:10 p.m. Connor McDavid will captain Canada in place of Crosby, just like in the semifinals.
