Bob McKenzie:
No prognosis from Team Canada on Alex Formenton injury, awaiting further word after more testing/imaging today. Formenton is on crutches and wearing a knee brace on his right leg but Team Canada said that is precautionary/protocol.
• Raphael Lavoie - F
• Cameron Crotty - D
• Ty Dellandrea - F
• Calen Addison - D
Lavoie, Dellandrea and Addison are all eligible to make next year's team.
Canada still has to release four forwards, three defencemen and a goalie.

Mark Masters:
If Jaret Anderson-Dolan (wrist) and Gabriel Vilardi (back) are ready to play at the World Juniors then Team Canada will need to release another forward. Head coach Tim Hunter says that decision has already been made and the player who would be cut has been informed.
Bob McKenzie:
The most likely odd-man out candidate, if JAD and Vilardi can both play, is Alexis Lafreniere, the youngest player currently with the team.
