MONTREAL — Chicago Blackhawks forward prospect Mathias From’s World Junior Championship was nearly over before it began.
From suffered an ankle injury training with Denmark leading up to the tournament, and his status was in doubt.
“It was the first day of the training camp [I injured my ankle],” said From, who was drafted by the Blackhawks in the fifth round in 2016. “I was really sad, but I was also trying every day to be positive and try to look forward. Maybe I could play some games, maybe not. I don’t know.”
From missed Denmark's first two games due to the injury.
