Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin won't play in Tuesday's Group A game against the United States after sustaining a lower-body injury in Monday's 5-1 win over Czechia, Hockey Canada announced.
A three-time gold medalist who has earned the nickname 'Captain Clutch,' Poulin is considered day-to-day after leaving Monday's win in the first period following a hit into the boards from Czechia's Kristyna Kaltounkova. The latter was assessed a penalty for an illegal hit.
Poulin, 34, is playing in her fifth Olympics, winning gold in 2010, 2014 and 2022 along with a silver in 2018.
Canada and the U.S. have combined to win all six gold medals in women's hockey since it was introduced in the 1998 Nagano Olympics -- Canada claiming four and the Americans two. They've faced off five times in the gold-medal game and are heavy favorites to meet there again in this year's Games.
Both teams are undefeated entering Tuesday's Group A game. Canada is 2-0 with a 9-1 goal differential, while the U.S. is 3-0 with a 15-1 differential.
