Team USA is playing their final Round Robin game of the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday night against Sweden, and they will be without Auston Matthews for the matchup. The USA has already clinched a spot in the championship game, which will take place on Thursday against Canada. Because of that, it doesn’t make sense for Matthews to risk a serious injury when he is already battling some upper-body soreness.
“Auston Matthews is out tonight with upper-body soreness and is expected to play vs. Canada,” Michael Russo said in a post. “USA going with 11 forwards/17 skaters rather than playing 7 D.”
Team USA is 2-0 so far in the 4 Nations Face-Off while Sweden is seeking their first win after an 0-2 start.
