While hockey fans in Finland were still celebrating a landmark victory in the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championships, the country received a bit of sobering news barely more than a month away from the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Koivu sustained a broken ankle during a game Saturday against the Washington Capitals, though he did finish the game.
