Mantha committed the hit in the second period and was given a two-minute penalty for an illegal check to the head and a 10-minute misconduct.

Dreger adds that a one-game suspension isn't out of the question.

Mantha is tied for the tournament lead with seven goals through seven games in Slovakia. He also has five assists.

Canada shut out the United States 3-0 to finish first in Group A.
