Morrissey (undisclosed) will not play Friday vs. Switzerland.

Morrissey got hurt early in Canada's tournament opening win over the Czechs, and will miss their second game vs. Switzerland.

Morrissey (undisclosed) left Thursday's game vs. Czechia and will not return.

Morrissey played just 7:10 TOI before leaving Thursday's game vs. Czechia with an undisclosed injury. If Morrissey misses Friday's game vs. Switzerland, Travis Sanheim will dress as Canada's seventh defenseman.
