This is a massive loss for Team Canada, as Makar is easily their best defenseman at this tournament.
Team Canada is is already down one defenseman as head coach Jon Cooper revealed that Shea Theodore suffered an injury in the first period of their game against Team Sweden, missed the rest of the game, and then it was announced that he would be out for the remainder of the tournament.
It will be interesting to see who takes Cale Makar's spot on the first power play unit for Team Canada with him being out.
This could be the difference maker in who wins the game, as Makar is a game changing type of player.
Friedman also revealed that Cale Makar will be eligible to return later on in the tournament when he is feeling better.
