Poulin maintaining bench presence until she can play at WWHC. MORE:
While Canada's captain waits for her knee to get the all-clear for her to play in the women's world hockey championship, Poulin opts to be on the bench alongside her teammates dressed in her gear.
"It's obviously harder not playing, but it's another thing that I can learn. I've been embracing it and obviously it's not easy, but being there for my teammates is something that I value a lot." Canada and the U.S. were even atop Group A with three points apiece heading into Saturday's meeting. Host Finland, a 6-2 loser to the Americans in their opener, Switzerland and Russia round out that group.
Poulin scored the late equalizer and the overtime winner in the 2014 Olympic final, as well as both Canadian goals in the 2010 Winter Games final.
