After the season, Leclaire helped Canada win a silver medal at the world championships, going 4-0 with a 2.00 goals-against average and one shutout in four games.

Pascal Leclaire has a sprained neck that has kept him out of action, but after facing shots at practice on Saturday he feels that he is ready to return to the lineup on Sunday. HC Ken Hitchcock is being a bit more cautious. "We'll see how Pascal is at the morning skate," Hitchcock said. "I want to see how he feels, how he plays the puck. And I want to talk it over with the rest of the coaches." Leclaire has been borderline spectacular this season with a 2.10 GAA, .925 SV% and a league leading eight shutouts. As soon as he returns to the lineup, obviously insert him back into your lineup. The Columbus Dispatch
