Canadian defenseman Kale Clague will miss his team's game against Slovakia on Wednesday, the team announced.

Clague reportedly blocked a shot with his right foot in the team's 4-2 victory over Finland. Luckily X-rays came back negative, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

With Clague sidelined, Cale Makar is expected to move to the left side on a contingent with Dante Fabbro. Victor Mete and Conor Timmins will make up the second pairing, while Jake Bean and Cal Foote will occupy the third, according to McKenzie.

Canada will look to become the first team to two wins early into the tournament.
