DENVER - Avalanche defenceman Scott Hannan has left Colorado's game against the Los Angeles Kings because of a head injury.
The team says he will not return.
The Avalanche were already down a defenceman with captain Adam Foote sitting out the contest after sustaining a head injury against San Jose on Thursday night.
Hannan took Foote's spot alongside Kyle Cumiskey. It was unclear how Hannan was injured.
Sweden had no issue handling Austria, while Slovakia got the extra point in a big contest against Latvia on a quieter day at the World Junior Championship.
Adam Proteau returns with Screen Shots to talk about where the Vegas Golden Knights go now to address their goalie situation, Hockey Quebec's investigation into racism accusations and the latest surrounding two Flyers prospects in Russia.
There's always pressure to repeat as champions in the NHL, but the Colorado Avalanche will have to do it with a shakeup in the crease.
