Team Canada captain Barrett Hayton is back for Sunday's gold-medal game against Russia at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
Hayton had been a game-time decision after leaving Canada's semifinal victory over Finland with an injury in the third period on Saturday.
The Arizona Coyotes prospect came into Sunday's contest leading Canada in goals (five) and points (11) in six games. He also entered the matchup tied for third in goals and second in points among all skaters at the tournament.
