Canada goaltender Ben Scrivens left during the second period of Wednesday's quarterfinal game against Finland with an apparent injury.

Kevin Poulin replaced Scrivens.

Scrivens suffered the injury when Canadian forward Eric O'Dell drove Finnish forward Veli-Matti Savinainen into the net, where he crashed into the goaltender. Although Scrivens was slow to get up, he briefly remained in the game before pulling himself at the next stoppage in play.

Prior to Wednesday's game, Scrivens had posted a 1.92 goals-against average with a .920 save percentage in the tournament.
