Team Canada head coach Dale Hunter had no update on Hayton's status postgame, according to ESPN's Chris Peters.
Hayton's played a huge role on Canada's top line alongside Alexis Lafreniere and Nolan Foote. His five goals lead the team, and after registering two assists Saturday, Hayton brought his tournament point total to 11 through five-plus games.
The Arizona Coyotes drafted Hayton fifth overall in 2018.
