The Canadian goaltender appeared to skate off the injury and briefly remained in the game, but came out at the next stoppage in play in favour of Kevin Poulin at 4:17 of the period.

Hockey Canada said in a statement that Scrivens suffered an "upper-body injury."

Scrivens has carried the bulk of Canada's load in goal at the Pyeongchang Games, but Poulin played in Canada's 4-0 win over South Korea on Sunday.
