New US-Canada 4 Nations hockey parlay odds released after crucial Charlie McAvoy injury update

As Team USA gears up for a high-stakes showdown against Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off Championship on February 20th, they’ll be without one of their top defensemen. Charlie McAvoy has been ruled out for the game at TD Garden after suffering an upper-body injury earlier in the tournament.

McAvoy Hospitalized, Will Not Play vs. Canada

McAvoy, who missed Monday’s game against Sweden, was later admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital for further evaluation. Team USA head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed that both McAvoy and Auston Matthews are dealing with upper-body injuries, but McAvoy’s status quickly became more concerning.

Shortly after Sullivan’s press conference, The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride reported that McAvoy had been hospitalized, and Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff provided an update Tuesday morning: McAvoy has officially been ruled out for the championship game.

The Boston Bruins issued the following statement on his condition:

"Charlie was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday to undergo testing related to an upper-body injury sustained during the 4 Nations Face-Off and is currently being evaluated by Boston Bruins Head Team Physician Dr. Peter Asnis. He will not play for Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off Championship Game on Thursday at TD Garden. The Boston Bruins will provide further updates on his condition and status as soon as they become available."

Team USA Faces a Tough Test Without McAvoy

Losing McAvoy is a major blow to Team USA’s blue line, especially against a stacked Canadian roster featuring some of the world’s top offensive talent. The Bruins star has been a key two-way force for the Americans, providing elite defense and puck-moving ability. Without him, Team USA will need other defensemen to step up, especially against Canada’s lethal power play.
