DiGiacinto was suspended for one game for an “illegal check to the head or neck" on Martin Fehervary in Italy's second game. He missed the final preliminary game, but is set to return to the lineup for their playoff game vs. Switzerland on Tuesday.
Crinon was ejected in France's loss to Canada for a fight with Tom Wilson and has been banned by the team for the reminder of the tournament. "Crinon's provocative behavior upon leaving the ice, even though he had just been ejected from the game for fighting, constitutes a clear violation of the Olympic spirit and also undermines the values of our sport."
Faksa picked up an injury at the end of Czechia's game vs. Switzerland and is questionable to play in their playoff game against Denmark on Tuesday. David Tomasek skated in his spot on the fourth line in Monday's practice, suggesting that he may not be available to play.
Bussi has been one of the NHL's best stories in 2025-26 after being claimed off waivers by Carolina from Boston in the offseason and has earned himself a three-year, $1.9 million contract extension ($5.7 million total). The 27-year-old holds a ridiculous 23-3-1 record this season to go alongside his 2.16 GAA and .908 SV%. He is expected to be apart of Carolina's future in tandem with Pyotr Kochetkov.
Hellebuyck stopped 17 of 18 shots in the USA's win over Latvia in their tournament opener. Hellebuyck sat for Game 2, but will be back in net for Sunday's game vs. Germany. Hellebuyck and the Americans are large favourites against the Germans.
Silovs allowed three goals on 29 shots in Latvia's win over Germany. So far he's stopped 31 of the 35 shots (.886 SV%) that he's faced in the tournament. He has a chance to make it two wins in a row, as he faces Denmark in a toss-up game.
Andersen allowed three goals on 26 shots in Denmark's 3-1 loss to Germany in their tournament opener. He sat for the USA game, but will be back between the pipes vs. Latvia. The game is basically a coin flip but Denmark enters 0-2 and Latvia comes in at 1-1.
Cantagello played in the first two games of the tournament, but he'll sit in their third preliminary game vs. Canada. Thomas Thiry will replace him in the lineup.
Dair played in the first two games of the tournament, but he'll sit in their third preliminary game vs. Canada. Jordann Perret will replace him in the lineup.
Thiry played in France's tournament opener but was a healthy scratch last game. He'll replace Enzo Cantagallo in the lineup vs. Canada.
Perret played in France's tournament opener but was a healthy scratch last game. He'll replace Aurélien Dair in the lineup vs. Canada.
Binnington stopped all 26 shots that he faced in Canada's shutout win over Czechia to open the tournament. Logan Thompson started Game 2, but it will be Binnington who closes out the preliminary round vs. France. He should have no troubles, as Canada are massive -6.5 goal favourites to win.
Junca will make his first start of the tournament and it will come in the most difficult matchup possible. Junca and France are +6.5 underdogs vs. Canada, a tough birthday present for the now 28-year-old netminder. Junca allowed five goals on 36 shots in his only start at least year's World Championships.
Berni was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the tournament, but he'll replace Andrea Glauser (concussion) in the lineup on Sunday. Berni, a former Columbus Blue Jacket, has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 44 games with Geneve Servette (National League) this season.
Knak was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the tournament, but he'll replace Denis Malgin (shoulder) in the lineup on Sunday. Knak plays for Davos HC in the National League and has 17 points (7G / 10A) in 41 games this season.
Glauser suffered a possible concussion on a thunderous hit from Connor McDavid in Switzerland's loss to Canada. Glauser will be unavailable for Sunday's game vs. Czechia and his status for Switzerland's first elimination game is uncertain. Tim Berni will dress in Glauser's place vs. Czechia.
Malgin suffered an apparent shoulder injury early in Switzerland's game against Canada. The veteran centre logged just 2:28 TOI before leaving the game and he'll miss today's game vs. Czechia. It's unclear whether or not Malgin will be back in time for the Switzerland's first elimination game. Simon Knak will replace Malgin in the lineup on Sunday.
Kubalik appeared in the first two games of the tournament, but he'll be replaced by David Tomasek vs. Switzerland. Kubalik has yet to record a point in the first two games.
Tomasek was a healthy scratch for Czechia's last game, but he will replace Dominik Kubalik in the lineup vs. Switzerland. Tomasek had just one SOG in 13:14 TOI in his tournament debut.
