Hockey Canada said team doctors will assess his condition on a daily basis. But good news, “we anticipate that she will be able to return to competition during the Olympic tournament,” reassured the director of hockey activities of the formation, Gina Kingsbury.
Daoust, 30, was illegally checked against the boards in the tournament opener on Wednesday against Switzerland. At the last World Championship, she was named MVP, with 12 points in seven games.
