Editor's note: Follow USA vs. Canada live updates from the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey final.
For the second game in a row against the USA, Canada will be without a blueliner due to illness.
Winnipeg Jets defender Josh Morrissey will be out for Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off championship game against the USA, despite the return of Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar, who missed the first bout against the United States.
That means that for the second game in a row against Team USA, Thomas Harley — who was added as an emergency replacement for the injured Shea Theodore after the first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off — will see action against the red white and blue for Team Canada.
Morrissey, 29, was scoreless during the round-robin portion of the tournament. Harley will join the Kings' Drew Doughty on the third defensive pairing for Canada. Travis Sanheim will now join Colton Parayko on the second pair.
Harley played well for Canada during its round-robin clash with the United States, which Team USA ultimately won 3-1. Harley logged 18:17 on the ice and took a pair of shots on goal, while blocking three shots on the other end.
Why is Josh Morrissey out for Canada hockey vs USA?
Morrissey was a late scratch for Canada against the USA because of an illness, making him the second defender to miss a game for Canada vs the United States after getting sick.
Who is Josh Morrissey's replacement?
Thomas Harley, a 23-year-old defender for the Dallas Stars, will see action against the United States for the second time this tournament.
Harley has seen action for Canada since being brought on to replace Shea Theodore, who was injured in Canada's opener vs Sweden. He played against the United States in the round-robin, logging a plus-minus of -1 in 18:17. He had a hit and three blocked shots along with two shots on net.
Harley has 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) so far this season, with a plus-minus of 26 for the Stars.

Why did the Orioles and Rockies keep playing after fans evacuated seats?
BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies played through rain for about two innings Friday night even after fans were told to evacuate open areas of the seating bowl because of potential lightning in the area. It made for an unusual stretch of baseball at Camden Yards, with fans taking shelter for their own safety but players still on the field. The reason was that those two decisions are made by different people. The Orioles decided to clear fans from their seats, but the umpiring crew determines whether the game should continue. 'They did clear the stands unbeknownst to me,' crew chief Bill Miller said after Colorado's 6-5 win. "We are concerned about lightning, but the crew did not see any lightning in the area. We saw it from afar, but we didn't think at any time anybody on the field was in danger.' Fans were told to move around the start of the sixth inning, and it did indeed rain. Many spectators were still able to watch the game from sheltered seats with a view of the field. They were told they could go back to their original seats around the end of the seventh. The game was never delayed. 'I trust the fact that the umpires have our health and safety in their best judgment, and I applaud the Orioles for kind of clearing out the lower bowl and kind of mitigating any risk whatsoever, making sure that the fans were in a safe spot,' Baltimore interim manager Tony Mansolino said. Miller said he was receiving weather reports. 'I was getting updates every half-inning from the grounds crew gentleman. He said that we were going to get hit by a big storm in a half an hour. He said at 8:45 it was going to come. It was going to be windy, it was going to be rainy and there was going to be thunder and lightning,' Miller said. 'I asked him to give me a half-inning update, and it progressively diminished. The storm was decidedly moving south. He thought the top of it was going to catch us.' ___ AP MLB:

Bronny James could participate in Drew League in Los Angeles
This month's summer league was a mixed bag for the Los Angeles Lakers. They went 1-3 in the main Las Vegas summer league, and Dalton Knecht, whom people were hoping would show some real signs of growth, struggled throughout. On the other hand, Bronny James played well on both ends of the floor, which has given people additional hope about his chances of eventually making it as an NBA rotation player. Every summer, the Drew League, a pro-am competition, is held in Los Angeles. There have been times when NBA superstars such as Kobe Bryant or LeBron James have shown up there, and commissioner Dino Smiley said that the younger James could participate this year. Via 'I've heard Bronny, but nothing clear on that yet. I heard Bronny might play. But nothing concrete. Earlier in the summer, there was talk about Dalton Knecht and Cam Christie playing.' The Drew League began play midway through last month, and its playoffs will start on Aug. 2. Some may be concerned that the younger James could get hurt playing against amateur players, but it could also give him an opportunity to sharpen his skills a bit and get in shape before training camp.
