Team Europe will attempt to beat Canada without the services of a key forward.

Marian Gaborik has been ruled out of action for the next eight weeks with a foot injury suffered during a World Cup semifinal win over Sweden, prompting general manager Miroslav Satan to release a statement wishing the forward well and thanking him for services rendered during the tournament.

"Due to a lower-body injury suffered on Sunday, forward Marian Gaborik has left Team Europe and he will not return," Satan wrote. "Marian was a very important part of Team Europe throughout the entire World Cup of Hockey and though he is leaving our group today, he remains a part of our team. We know he will be supporting us in the final against Team Canada and we wish him all the best in his recovery."

Gaborik recorded two goals and 13 shots in four games for Europe.
