Serious injury to Juraj Slafkovsky? It's now confirmed

Indeed, Slaf did not join his teammates in Slovakia for their first preliminary match, and he was still in Montreal for medical reasons.

It should be noted from the outset that if he is injured, Kent Hughes can refuse at any time to allow him to go to the World Championship, which would be unfortunate but logical.

There were many concerns, but they are now dismissed.

Very good news this morning, as we learn that Slaf has arrived in Slovakia and will finally be able to join his compatriots. Rumors of serious injury are thus dismissed, it's confirmed.

It should be noted that he is the big star of the Slovak team and will be a very important player. He will play big minutes against the best players in the world still available.

In 82 games this season, Slaf amassed an impressive total of 20 goals and 50 points, as he just celebrated his 20th birthday. He has become an important member of the first line and the power play.

Imagine him at 25 now!
