Canada has its captain back.
Marie-Philip Poulin returned from injury for Saturday’s Olympic women’s hockey quarterfinal against Germany.
Head coach Troy Ryan added pre-game that he will have to be wary of Poulin’s ice time.
“It’s not that we have to be overly cautious, but just easing her back in is really important. I gotta take the feedback that she provides me. She’s agreed to be open and just have discussions on the bench when need be,” he said, per CBC Olympics’ Claire Hanna.
Poulin sustained a lower-body injury when she was checked by Kristyna Kaltounkova midway through the opening period of Canada’s 5-1 win over Czechia in round-robin play.
