Charlie McAvoy was discharged from hospital today, and he wasted no time sending his fellow teammates at the 4 Nations a good luck message for tonight.
It's a safe bet that McAvoy will be standing tall tonight during the 'Star-Spangled Banner', likely from his home in Boston.
Meanwhile, Canadian head coach Jon Cooper had already confirmed earlier today that he will be making changes to the lineup for the 4 Nations Face-Off Final. Forward Travis Konecny will sit out, and Seth Jarvis will take his place.
Jarvis said he learned of the news this morning and referred to tonight's game as probably the biggest game of his hockey career.
"This is probably the biggest game of my hockey career."

On the US side, head coach Mike Sullivan also affirmed that all of his players, except for McAvoy, are prepared to play against Canada.
