“I absolutely wanted to go to the World Cup, but it seems doubtful because I have a broken finger and might need surgery”, he told Sportbladet.

Andre Burakovsky is also not likely to participate in the World Championships due to his current contract status. Burakovsky is an Unrestricted Free Agent.
