Pierre LeBrun Announces That Team USA Is Calling Up Reinforcements for the Final Against Team Canada

Regarding these ongoing call-ups, will Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield receive a call from Bill Guerin in the next few minutes?

Things are definitely heating up!

As for Quinn Hughes, his agent mentioned that it was a tough decision for him to withdraw.

'I spoke with Quinn Hughes' agent, Pat Brisson, who told me that this was a very difficult decision for his client, as Hughes really, really wanted to join the American team.

But the reality is that he still has not received medical clearance.

And he probably wasn't going to play unless Team USA suffered another injury or illness on defense.

So it was a tough decision, but the decision has been made: he will not be joining Team USA.'

So we have two major updates from LeBrun's reports.

1- Team USA is currently calling up players to head to Boston as reinforcements in case other American players have to sit out.

2- Quinn Hughes is officially out of the picture.
