The United States will be without potential returning forward Brock Boeser at the World Junior Hockey Championship later this month.
Boeser, a first-round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, is reportedly slated for right wrist surgery, the University of North Dakota announced Wednesday.
The sophomore winger had seven goals and 16 points in 13 games before he was injured.
He's expected to return to the Fighting Hawks lineup next month.
Boeser had a goal and three points at the tournament last year.
