What happened: Canada shut out the United States 4-0 to advance to the World Championship semifinals. Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse and Canada are moving on, but fellow Edmonton blueliner Evan Bouchard picked up an injury during the run. The Oilers have not detailed the severity.

Why it matters: Bouchard is a cornerstone of Edmonton's blue line, so any injury at the Worlds is a worry for the Oilers heading into 2026-27. This is the same Evan Bouchard who scored to put Edmonton ahead of the Ducks in Game 4. Nurse staying healthy keeps a second Oilers defenseman alive in the medal hunt.

What to watch: Watch for an update on the severity of Bouchard's injury and the identity of Canada's semifinal opponent.
