A promising start to the 2017-18 season is slowly becoming a forgotten memory for the Vancouver Canucks, as key injuries to their four best players are starting to add up to yet another very frustrating campaign.
Brandon Sutter has been out of action for a month, and isn’t expected to return until next week. That was only the beginning, though. Bo Horvat was ruled out to six weeks with a fractured foot. Then Sven Baertschi suffered a broken jaw which will keep him out four-to-six weeks.
Chris Tanev has been ruled out two-to-three weeks with a groin injury.
