Team Canada faces a significant question mark for their Olympic gold medal hockey matchup against Team USA: the potential return of captain Sidney Crosby. Crosby, 38, missed Canada's semifinal win after sustaining a lower-body injury. He skated in practice Saturday, with head coach Jon Cooper stating Crosby will be a game-time decision. Cooper emphasized Crosby will only play if he can positively impact the team and not put himself or others at risk.
With Crosby absent from the semifinal, Connor McDavid wore the captain's 'C'. McDavid indicated the team wants to give Crosby a chance to play in the gold medal game. Meanwhile, Team USA's Tage Thompson also practiced after being held out of their previous game as a precaution. The highly anticipated gold medal game is scheduled for Sunday morning.
