Canada will be without forward Gilbert Brule for Saturday's bronze-medal game in men's hockey.

Brule was issued a game misconduct and ejected from Canada's semifinal loss to Germany for a hit to the head of forward David Wolf.

Canada will also play without injured goaltender Ben Scrivens. Kevin Poulin, who replaced Scrivens in the quarterfinals and played against Germany, will get the start.

Canada will play the Czech Republic for bronze. The last time Canada failed to earn a medal in men's hockey was 2006.
