Team USA star Matthew Tkachuk will not play against Sweden in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday night. But in the first game Monday afternoon, Canada All-Star defenseman Cale Makar was back in the lineup after he missed Saturday's loss to the U.

A lower-body injury will keep forward Matthew Tkachuk from playing for Team USA against Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off game Monday night in Boston.

At some point during the U.S. victory over Canada on Saturday night in Montreal, Tkachuk suffered an apparent injury. While he remained on the bench, Tkachuk took his last shift about eight minutes into the third period.
