Brandon Sutter will be out of action for 4-6 weeks as a result of sports hernia surgery. That really sucks, as he was a second line center staple and poor Bo Horvat is not quite filling Sutter's shoes.
Defenceman Andrey Pedan, who only played 1 game with the Canucks since being called up recently has been sent back down to the minors and the Canucks announced that they have recalled RW Ronalds Kenins from Utica. Kenins showed flashes of brilliance in the 30 games he played with the Canucks last season, scoring 4 goals and 12 points.
