Report: Barrie suffered leg injury wrestling in hotel room

You read that correctly.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie, who's been representing Team Canada at the World Championships, was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament Wednesday with a lower-body injury, but the ailment wasn't suffered on the ice.

Barrie lacerated his leg while wrestling with a teammate in his hotel room, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

Dreger adds that Barrie was ruled out for precautionary reasons, but the incident proves the misfortunes of the Avalanche this year know no limits.

It's a tough loss for the undefeated Canadians, as the 25-year-old Barrie was tied for the team lead with seven points through three games.
