I think Canada's game plan was not to be down at any point in the game. It certainly looked that way to judge from how the game played out, and it seems to be a winning strategy. Having Hamhuis available in a game like this to play in the vent that a defenseman goes down is a much better idea than having to slot Subban in in relief.
