NHL-less Olympics gives Europe-based players a shot at glory

In this handout photo released by Salavat Yulaev Hockey Club on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, Canadian goaltender Ben Scrivens of Russian hockey club Salavat Yulaev Ufa, left, makes a save during a game between his Russian hockey club Salavat Yulaev Ufa and SKA St. Petersburg in Ufa, Russia. With the NHL out of next year’s Olympics, Canada and the United States are looking to players based across Europe and Asia who might make the team. Among them is Canadian goaltender Ben Scrivens, who left the NHL behind last year and is now playing for a Russian club. (Roman Khakimov, Salavat Yulaev Hockey Club/Photo via AP)
