Canada's Dach out for tournament with injury; Beck added to roster
Canada forward Colton Dach will miss the remainder of the world juniors due to an injury he sustained Saturday and Owen Beck has been added to the roster, the team announced ahead of the quarterfinals.
Dach, a Chicago Blackhawks prospect, was hurt after throwing a hit along the boards during his country's New Year's Eve win against Sweden. He managed two assists in Canada's four round-robin games before his tournament came to a premature end.

Canada named 22 players to its tournament roster, leaving space for three call-ups if need be.
Beck, a second-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens last summer, has posted 40 points in 30 games for the OHL's Mississauga Steelheads this season.
