The injury bug decided to make a stop in Vegas last night and feasted on the Canucks.
Alex Edler, Chris Tanev, and Sven Baertschi were lost to various injuries throughout the the course of the game and has resulted in the Canucks recalling Alex Biega and Guillaume Brisebois from the Utica Comets.
It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but Rick Dhaliwal has been hot on the case this morning
First with Biega
Shortly afterwards with Brisebois:
Brisebois agent is in Sweden and has heard his client has been called up by the #Canucks.
One important note is that because Biega cleared waivers earlier this month, he can dress with the Canucks for 10 games or be on the roster for 30 days before requiring waivers again.
Alex Edler is not expected to dress tonight and Chris Tanev is currently a game-time decision. It’s fair to assume that Michael Del Zotto will slide in for the injured Edler, and if Tanev can’t go, Biega will jump in.
In the forward ranks, Darren Archibald is likely to dress for Baertschi if Brock Boeser is still unable to suit up.
