Concerning News Confirmed for the Tkachuk Brothers and Team USA Ahead of Final vs. Canada
We have an update on forward Brady Tkachuk, and it's not what Team USA fans were hoping for. In the last few minutes, just hours before the big final against Team Canada, the American team announced that the youngest of the Tkachuk brothers will have to sit out today.
It doesn't look good for his availability in tomorrow night's game against Canada.
He is also the only forward absent this morning for the Americans.
This is a situation to follow closely.
Brady Tkachuk is not at Team USA's practice
It should be noted that during Monday night's game against Sweden, Brady Tkachuk's knee hit the goalpost hard, and he immediately had to retreat to his team's locker room.
He attempted to return to the game but was unsuccessful, and after the match, he mentioned that "something is not right" with his knee.
Needless to say, Brady Tkachuk's absence would be a massive loss for Team USA ahead of tomorrow night's big final against Team Canada, if this is confirmed.
Let's not forget that they also lost the services of defenseman Charlie McAvoy in the past few hours.
The final match of the Four Nations Showdown will take place tomorrow night at 8:00 PM, live from the home of the Boston Bruins.
We expect to see Connor Hellebuyck versus Jordan Binnington in net.
Further details to follow.
