Cale Makar Gives Team Canada a Huge Update Prior to Pivotal Team Finland Match
Team Canada defenseman Cale Makar was out against the Americans on Saturday with an illness and now, many are wondering if he will play against Team Finland.
Cale Makar is easily one of the best defenseman in the National Hockey League and is the cornerstone of Team Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off squad.
Will Cale Makar play against Team Finland
Now, Team Canada is in a must-win situation against the Finns and fans are hoping that Makar can get himself back into the lineup.
If Makar is not able to play, then Canada will be in a huge hole, even if Thomas Harley did a good job as his replacement.
Well, today at practice, the Colorado Avalanche superstar gave the team some hope as he was seen on the ice with his teammates.
Moreover, afterward, Makar noted that he would be doing everything in his power to get on the ice for Monday's matchup.
Team Canada head coach Jon Cooper has made it clear that there are no guarantees when it comes to Makar.
Regardless, this should give Canada a bit of hope going forward. Makar is a great player and he gives them a chance to win.
Of course, last night was epic match against Team USA, but Canada came up short with a poor offensive performance.
If Canada can beat Finland in regulation, they will have a rematch against the Americans on Thursday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in the Championship Game.
By then, one would have to assume that Cale Makar would be ready to go.
