Sporting News on MSNUSA injury updates: Latest news on Tkachuk brothers, Auston Matthews for 4 Nations Face-Off championshipThe U.S. is dealing with a handful of notable injuries ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game against Canada.
The Americans recognized the opportunity they lost at the 4 Nations Face-Off, but will be strong next year in Italy.
Team USA and Team Canada, Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy threw a monster hit on Connor McDavid while in the defensive zone. Just 30 seconds after, Jake Guentzel scored for Team USA to tie the game up at 1-1.
This little mid-season tournament proved to be something much greater, and the NHL must now deal with the ramifications.
McAvoy and Tkachuk did not participate in morning skate for Team USA, which already secured a spot in Thursday's TD Garden final vs. Canada, but Matthews was scratched close to puck drop. Brady Tkachuk was then lost for the night after a first-period collision.
According to the Boston Globe, Charlie McAvoy was admitted to Mass. General Hospital due to injury from play in the 4 Nations Face-Off.
Tkachuk, meanwhile, is a slam dunk to represent Team USA in the 2026 Winter Games. His thunderous performance in the 4 Nations Face-Off makes him a Stars-and-Stripes lock, alongside his brother Matthew.
