left last night's Team Canada game against Sweden with an apparent injury, and now the Golden Knights player will be out week-to-week.

Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore is finished for the remainder of the 4 Nations Face-Off after suffering an upper-body injury during Wednesday's win over Sweden, confirmed post-game through Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, head coach Jon Cooper.

Golden Knights defenseman Theodore was hit to the boards in a bad position after a check from Adrian Kempe to start the second period. He was helped to the bench under his own power but appeared to favor his right arm or shoulder.

TNT's Jackie Redmond wrote during Wednesday's game that Theodore was getting his injury checked via X-ray.

Unfortunately, his tour of duty is over after just nine shifts and 6:59 of ice time in his second game for Team Canada.

With no instant roster replacement permitted except in instances of fewer than 18 healthy skaters, Travis Sanheim, scratched against Sweden, is next in line to take his place Saturday against the United States.

The disappointment is a hard one for the 29-year-old, who has been hurt in recent campaigns even though he's one of Vegas' better players.

He's played more than 60 regular-season games in a season just one time since 2021-22 but was trending to a virtual full season's work when he was hurt. Now his status after coming out of the two-week break is very bleak.

Theodore will likely be out several weeks

The Golden Knights said Thursday that Theodore is listed week-to-week, adding to a worry list for a team that was 5-8-3 going into the break.

He is a team leader in every defensive category among Vegas defensemen in goals (seven), assists (41), points (48), and various advanced metrics, making his loss a serious one.
