Team Europe and Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa has been taken to a hospital in Quebec City for x-rays following Thursday’s World Cup pre-tournament game, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Hossa was credited with 10:47 of ice time in Europe’s 4-0 loss to Team North America, though it hasn’t been determined yet what caused him to leave the game.
Ralph Krueger says no update on Marian Hossa. According to @renlavoietva he went to QC hospital to get x-rays.

Marian Hossa didn't play in the third period of tonight's game. I'm told he was hit in the foot by a puck which led to his departure.
