A number of high-profile NHL players are dealing with injuries, raising questions about their availability for the upcoming 4 Nations tournament. Teams are concerned about the potential impact of player injuries during the tournament on their Stanley Cup aspirations.
The recent spate of injuries in the NHL has raised concerns among teams and executives about the impact of the upcoming 4 Nations tournament. Several key players are facing uncertain timelines for their return, including Maple Leafs forward Nicholas Robertson, who has been sidelined since November, and Capitals goalie Ilya Samsonov, who is a pending unrestricted free agent. While Robertson has been named to Team Finland and intends to play in the tournament, his status remains uncertain.
Samsonov's absence could be a significant blow to the Capitals, who have been relying on his stellar performance all season. The Capitals are hoping to extend Samsonov before the tournament, but negotiations have only recently heated up. The tournament also poses risks for other high-profile players, including Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies, who suffered an upper-body injury, and Jets forward Mark Scheifele, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The uncertainty surrounding their availability adds to the anxieties of NHL teams. Some executives have even suggested that a two-week vacation might be a better option for their players than participating in the tournament
