As the countdown continues, several key updates and roster changes have emerged, including notable injuries and replacements. Additionally, all eyes were on Sidney Crosby following a recent scare on the ice last night in the game against New Jersey.

Pittsburgh Penguins star and Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby assuaged concerns that he would miss the beginning of the new 4 Nations Face-Off, saying he will play Wednesday against Sweden. Crosby hurt his left arm last week and sat out Pittsburgh's final two games before the NHL's break for the four-team international tournament.

When it comes to a rare chance to play in an international tournament with the best players in the world, it was going to take more than an injured arm to keep Crosby out.
