Matthew Tkachuk for the United States against Sweden with injuries at the bottom of the body

Boston – The United States will be without Matthew Tkachuk for its 4 -nations confrontation game against Sweden in TD Garden on Monday (8 PM et; Max, Trutv, TNT, SN, TVA) due to an injury at the bottom of the body.

The striker, who did not play the last 12:36 of the third period in an emotional 3-1 victory against Canada in Bell Center in Montreal on Saturday, did not participate in the skating of the morning at the Agganis Arena on Monday. The United States has achieved a place in the final in TD Garden on Thursday, so there is nothing at stake for Americans.

Sweden could also be out for Puck Drop; It will be eliminated whether Finland or Canada get a victory in the regulation in the previous game on Monday (1 PM et, TNT, Max, Trutv, SN, TVAS).

“Obviously it is a large part of this team just the way it plays and its leadership,” said American captain Auston Matthews. “Everything he brings to the table. You know, we have many types that can fill those points, have a greater impact, a larger role. It depends on us to fill that void. Tonight will be a great loss. He is very vocal in the room and things like that. “
