Going into World Cup of Hockey training camp the New York Islanders had both Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss on Team Europes squad, alongside recent Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen.

News coming out of Team Denmark’s camp is that Frederik Andersen has been injured during an Olympic qualifying game against Slovenia after colliding with a teammate.

Andersen’s status is still undetermined, but with the World Cup of Hockey just weeks away, this isn’t great news for Team Europe.
