Canucks Report: Feb 10

DAN HAMHUIS INJURED


The Canucks have the day off today, so there won’t be any further update on the condition of defenseman Dan Hamhuis, who was knocked out cold after he took an elbow to the head from Anaheim forward Ryan Getzlaf.
Early indications were positive.
"Dan has got the glass plastered to his face right now," Vigneault said. "He has got a big red mark, but he seemed fine."
The Canucks have two days off before hosting the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. It’s unknown whether Hamhuis will play.


CANUCKS RECALL ORESKOVICH


Vancouver Canucks President and General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that right wing Victor Oreskovich has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose of the AHL. Aaron Volpattihas been re-assigned to Manitoba.
