Overview
- Filip Hronek was injured during Czechia’s 3-2 win over Finland at the Fortuna Hockey Games, with reports saying he stayed down after a late tackle by Mikael Seppälä.
- Head coach Radim Rulík said he is afraid the issue might be more serious, according to postgame comments relayed by local media.
- Czech reporter Zdenek Janda detailed the sequence and reported that forward Daniel Voženílek confronted Seppälä after the play.
- The exhibition was described as chippy, and Czech forward Michael Špaček exited earlier with a knee injury following a hit from Aku Räty.
- Hronek’s status remains unclear, a troubling sign for Vancouver given he played all 82 games and averaged about 25 minutes per night this season.
