Vancouver Canucks defenseman Ed Jovanovski will miss the Olympics because of a lower abdominal injury that requires surgery. Jovanovski will most likely be replaced by Toronto defenseman Bryan McCabe, who is just returning to play after a groin injury. Team Canada is also waiting to hear whether Anaheim defenseman Scott Niedermayer, who has a small tear in his knee that may require arthroscopic surgery, will be making the trip to Turin.
