VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks could use an offensive savior about now -- and winger Jannik Hansen has a chance to be one.
Hansen is slated to return to Vancouver's lineup on Saturday as the Canucks (23-22-6) host the Minnesota Wild (33-12-5) at Rogers Arena.
The game has a chance to be quite meaningful in the Canucks' quest to get above the Western Conference playoff bar, because it is the last one at home -- where they often excel -- before six games on the road, where usually lose.
