North America's Ekblad out of lineup vs. Russia due to injury
Twitter@LitterBoxCats
Team North America will be without arguably its best defenseman against Russia on Monday night.
Aaron Ekblad is not in the lineup due to an injury the North American squad is referring to as an upper-body ailment.
Jacob Trouba is taking his place.
Ekblad played nearly 24 minutes in North America's victory over Finland on Sunday night.
Aaron Ekblad was hit high last night by Leo Komarov. That should explain why he's out tonight. #tvasports
