Team Canada Announces Cale Makar's Fate Ahead of Intense Matchup With Finland

As it is just moments before puck drop in a must win game to go to the finals in order to get their rematch with USA, Canada has already announced that Jordan Binnington will start in net for his 3rd consecutive game, but all fans want to know is if Cale Makar is healthy enough to play.

Team Canada suffered a heartbreaking loss to their biggest rivals in Team USA on Saturday evening and a major factor in that disappointment was due to Canda not having their number 1 d-man in Cale Makar.

Initially a game time decision, he was ultimately ruled out to play after he was suffering from an undisclosed illness.

Now, just minutes before puck drop, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that Cale Makar is indeed on the ice for warmups and that he is fully expected to play in the most important game yet.

Other than our very own Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes (Who is out with a lower-body injury), Cale Makar is debatably the NHL's best defenseman, and it was clear that without him against USA the team struggles moving the Puck effectively.

Now that he is in for their most important game of the tournament as they need a win to move on to the finals, Having him back is a major game changer for Canada.
