According to NHL Injury Viz, the Vancouver Canucks are currently fifth in the table for most man-games lost to injury this season.
All your usual suspects feature: Chris Tanev, Alex Edler, Brandon Sutter, Brock Boeser and Sven Baertschi are regulars on the list, and have been joined this season by the team’s presumptive Calder winner Elias Pettersson, summer UFA signings Jay Beagle and Antoine Roussel, and a host of other names. Blue-chip prospect Quinn Hughes even joined the Canucks already sporting an injury, which was highly ironic and hopefully not a sign of his career to come.
