After three weeks away from the rink, the Vancouver Canucks are set to return to the ice on Friday night when they host the Oilers. That will kick off a stretch in which the team is set to play 19 games in 31 days, a schedule that’s unheard of even during this condensed season.
Personally, I’m not even that excited about their return since I’m worried about players potentially getting injured due to playing so much in such a shortened period of time.
