BOSTON \u2014 Aside from defenseman Charlie McAvoy, who was ruled out for the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game with an infected right shoulder, Team USA is expected to have every other player who was banged up available on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no way I was missing this game,\u201d USA captain Auston Matthews said after participating in practice on Wednesday, following a late scratch against Sweden due to upper-body soreness.<\/p>\n
Matthew Tkachuk was also on the TD Garden ice after missing the final 12:36 of the first game against Canada with what was termed a lower-body injury. <\/p>\n
He then sat out Team USA\u2019s 2-1 loss to Sweden on Monday night, as well.<\/p>\n
Brother Brady Tkachuk was the only questionable player who did not participate in practice, but head coach Mike Sullivan said it was because the Senators captain wasn\u2019t feeling well.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s saving everything he has for tomorrow night,\u201d Matthew Tkachuk said.<\/p>\n
Sullivan also asserted that he expects Brady Tkachuk to play.<\/p>\n
The flu continues to run rampant around the tournament, so more exceptions have been made.<\/p>\n
According to multiple reports, Sabres center Tage Thompson and Devils defenseman Brett Pesce have been invited by Team USA to come to Boston and serve as reserves just in case.<\/p>\n
The same rules will apply for the two extra Americans as they did for Thomas Harley when he came in for Canada: They cannot even participate in USA\u2019s morning skate Thursday unless the team falls below the roster threshold.<\/p>\n
Regarding Quinn Hughes, who Sullivan mistakenly announced was headed to Boston before he was spotted at Canucks practice in Vancouver, word out of Vancouver is that Hughes isn\u2019t medically cleared.<\/p>\n
Sullivan said his understanding was that Hughes was not coming to Boston as of that moment, but that Team USA general manager Bill Guerin was working through it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019d be fun,\u201d Hughes\u2019 brother and would-be USA teammate, Jack Hughes, said. \u201cObviously, he was on the team and a big part of the team, and even if he comes and can\u2019t play, that\u2019ll give everyone a big boost that he supports us and he is willing to come all this way to come just sit and be an extra if there\u2019s no injury or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The loss of McAvoy, who played a major role in shutting down Canada\u2019s top offensive players in their round-robin win, is a big blow to Team USA\u2019s blue line, but was necessary.<\/p>\n
The Bruins announced that McAvoy sustained an injury to his right shoulder AC joint in the game against Finland last week. <\/p>\n
He underwent treatment, which Boston pointed out was administered by Team USA\u2019s medical staff \u2014 largely made up of Minnesota Wild employees.<\/p>\n
Upon further evaluation in Boston, it was determined that McAvoy\u2019s shoulder was infected, in addition to having a \u201csignificant injury to his AC joint.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had no intention of talking to Chuck or [David Pastrnak] or any of my teammates until this tournament was over,\u201d McAvoy\u2019s Bruins teammate and Canadian adversary, Brad Marchand, said. \u201cBut obviously in a situation like that \u2014 Chucky\u2019s one of my best friends and I care a lot about him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
