Canada made another amendment to its World Cup of Hockey roster on Wednesday, replacing injured Chicago Blackhawks defender Duncan Keith with Jay Bouwmeester of the St. Louis Blues.

Keith is still recovering from a knee injury sustained last season.

Bouwmeester, who joins fellow Blues rearguard Alex Pietrangelo on the squad, has a decorated history with the Canadian national team. He won an Olympic gold medal in Sochi, owns three World Championship medals, played for the world junior team three times, and represented Canada at the last World Cup in 2004.

P.K. Subban, Kris Letang, and fellow left-shot defenseman Mark Giordano are a few of the elite defenseman who remain left off the 23-man roster.
