Report: Hossa suffered bruised foot, expected to remain in World Cup

Marian Hossa appears to have dodged a bullet on the injury front, despite being a bit banged up after taking a puck to his right skate during Thursday's World Cup pre-tournament game against North America.

The Europe forward suffered a bruised right foot in the second period, a source told Scott Powers of The Athletic. The diagnosis became more clear following a trip to the hospital for X-rays.

Hossa could miss one or both of Europe's remaining exhibition contests, but is expected to resume play once the preliminary round begins, the source told Powers.

Head coach Ralph Kruger said Hossa is "all green lights" following practice Friday.

Good news for Team Europe, as well as the Chicago Blackhawks.
