InjuryInjury
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. Team Canada didn't provide much of an update on Morrissey's status, so it's unclear how many games he will miss. Travis Sanheim will draw into the lineup to replace Morrissey.

InjuryInjury
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. Shea Theodore will presumably take on a bigger role after starting Wednesday's game as the seventh blueliner.
