Overview
- Morrissey suffered a lower-body injury in the opener against Czechia, briefly attempted a second-period return, and then left the game for good.
- The IIHF listed Morrissey and Brad Marchand as scratches for the Switzerland game, where Canada won 5-1.
- Head coach Jon Cooper confirmed Morrissey will not play against France and said he is not ruled out for the tournament, with no firm timetable provided.
- Travis Sanheim made his Olympic debut in Morrissey’s absence as Canada adjusted its blue line rotation.
- Olympic rules bar mid-tournament call-ups, so Canada will rely on its 25-player roster as it monitors Morrissey’s status following a 2-0 start (5-0 vs. Czechia, 5-1 vs. Switzerland).
