He isn't out of the WJC. He is suspended for the 2 first round robin games.

The roster size for the WJC permits teams to carry 3 goaltenders for the tournament and still carry 7d and 13f. Canada has just been avoiding doing so the past 2 tournaments.

He could still technically be Canada's #1 goaltender for the tournament and is allowed to play in all the pre-tournament games for Canada.
