Canada’s national hockey team is facing uncertainty ahead of their upcoming game against the United States at the 4 Nations tournament, as defenseman Cale Makar’s availability remains unclear. Makar, who plays for the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL, has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that has kept him out of the lineup for the past few games.
Makar’s absence would be a significant blow to Team Canada, as he is considered one of the top defensemen in the world and a key player for the team. His offensive skills and ability to move the puck up the ice make him a valuable asset on both ends of the rink.
In Makar’s absence, goaltender Jordan Binnington is expected to start for Canada against the United States. Binnington, who plays for the St. Louis Blues in the NHL, has proven himself to be a reliable and capable goaltender, with a Stanley Cup championship to his name.
Despite Makar’s uncertain availability, Team Canada remains confident in their ability to compete and perform well at the 4 Nations tournament. The team is stacked with talent and depth at every position, and they are determined to come out on top against their rivals from across the border.
Fans will have to wait and see if Makar will be able to suit up for Canada in their upcoming game against the United States. In the meantime, they can look forward to an exciting matchup between two powerhouse hockey nations at the 4 Nations tournament.
