Team Canada has replaced Brayden Point with Seth Jarvis for the upcoming Milan Cortina Olympics. Point, sidelined with a lower-body injury, hasn't played since January 12th for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The injury has kept him out of action, and he was recently moved to the long-term injured reserve list. This change impacts Canada's chances at the tournament.

Jarvis, a forward for the Carolina Hurricanes, was added to the roster. Point was initially named to the Canadian Olympic roster, alongside stars like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid. Jarvis has been impressive this season with 25 goals and 18 assists in 48 games. Team Canada's coach is Jon Cooper, who also coaches Tampa Bay.

Point's injury is a blow, as he had 30 points in 37 games before the injury. Jarvis had one assist in the 4 Nations Face-Off. The absence of Point marks the second Tampa Bay player to be pulled from the Olympics due to injury. The NHL is returning to the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014.

Canada will be hoping for a gold medal, having won previously with NHL players. The Milan Cortina Games begin soon. The team will need to adjust their strategy without Point's presence. Jarvis now has a chance to shine on the Olympic stage and help Canada defend their title. The games begin February 11th.
