Brady Tkachuk gives an indication on whether or not he'll play tonight

While it was reported earlier this week that brothers Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are expected to play in the 4 Nations Finale this evening, the team has yet to confirm the news.

Incidentally, the Americans also kept captain Auston Matthews, forward Matthew Tkachuk and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck out of the lineup against Sweden for precautionary reasons, while forward Brady Tkachuk left the game after colliding with the Swedish goal.

Yesterday Brady Tkachuk missed practice with the team after suffering an apparent injury while colliding with team Sweden's goal on Tuesday evening.

The younger Tkachuk left the game and did not return, but head coach Mike Sullivan said post-game that Tkachuk was held out again for "precautionary reasons."

Today though, Brady was back on the ice with his team giving us all an indication that he'll be in the lineup tonight against Team Canada.

Giddy up!

Let's drop the puck on this game already!
