Vasily Podkolzin’s road to Vancouver hits a detour with a demotion to the VHL

Much of the Vancouver Canucks’ dedicated Twitter-verse waited apprehensively this morning to see if Vasily Podkolzin would return to his SKA club’s KHL line-up for their game against Avangard today. The Canucks’ 2019 10th overall draft pick had been scratched for SKA’s last two games.

It appeared that the press box reassignment was despite Podkolzin being fully healthy and able to play.
