U.S. defenceman Quinn Hughes is on standby for the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Charlie McAvoy will miss the championship game after being admitted to hospital for tests related to an upper-body injury suffered at the tournament.

Rules state teams can apply to bring in a player as emergency relief if they drop below the threshold of six a half-dozen blueliners, 12 forwards or three goalkeepers.

Hughes is still in Vancouver , skating with the Canucks in a red no-contact jersey.

"As talented as they are offensively, they've made a commitment to playing defence," he said. "They understand what it takes to win." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 18, 2025 . Joshua Clipperton , The Canadian Press .
