Erik Gudbranson Sacrificed to Injury Faeries

One defenceman enters, one defenceman leaves. It's a league medical rule. Another bad league rule, which some describe as bad luck.

Friday saw the return of Chris Tanev to the ice. Sunday sees Guds to the infirmary. The Canucks balanced defence line up is assured - one half of the line up on the ice, the other half on IR. It's a beautiful game of symmetry, if you like that kind of thing. Would prefer to see all our players on the active roster for more than a few games - but that's what NHL 17 is for.
