Breaking news as Team Canada defenceman Cale Makar did not participate in practice this morning and has been ruled out with an illness.
According to TSN, Defenceman Cale Makar was not on the ice for Canada's session Friday morning due to an illness.
The Colorado Avalanche defenceman played 28:06 in Wednesday's tournament-opening victory over Sweden on Wednesday, registering two shots on goal.
Later on Friday, TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reported that Dallas Stars defenceman Thomas Harley will be allowed to come in and join Team Canada in case Makar is unable to play Saturday against the U.S.
Originally, Harley wasn't expected to join Canada before the 4 Nations shifted to Boston, but LeBrun reports NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and the National Hockey League Players' Association spoke Friday and agreed Harley would be eligible to join Canada for Saturday's game given the circumstances.
