Josh Morrissey of the Winnipeg Jets missed the 4 Nations championship finale due to illness, spending much of his time in his hotel room. The illness, which also affected teammate Connor Hellebuyck, prevented Morrissey from playing and will also keep both players out of Saturday's game against St.

For the second consecutive game against the United States, Canada took the ice missing a key player on the blue line on Thursday. This time, it was defenseman Josh Morrissey, who was ruled out for the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game because of an illness.
