For the men’s tournament, a maximum of eight athletes (or less, depending on the number of NHL players named to the provisional roster which determines the max number of ‘P’ athletes) can be designated as training partners (‘P’ athletes). These are athletes that weren’t named as part of the provisional roster, but who can travel to Sochi and train with the team, provided they were included on the 1st October athlete long list.

So I guess he can be an injury replacement if he was included on the October long list.
