Head coach Troy Ryan confirmed that Thompson has an upper-body injury but all signs point to her being available for the game with some medical treatment. It remains unclear when the injury occurred.
Thompson is tied for fourth among Olympic defenders with four points (one goal, three assists) in six games. Canada will face the U.S. on Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET / 10:10 a.m. PT on CBC Gem and Sportsnet+, looking to defend its gold medal against a rival on a seven-game win streak.
