LATEST | Great news for the Canucks ahead of the game against the Kings

As reported by Jeff Paterson, the Canucks have activated Ethan Bear from the injury reserve and he'll be back in after missing a few games due to a puck he received in the mouth.

The Canucks will be getting much-needed help on the defensive side and Bear will most likely get his spot back on Hughes' side. Bear is currently looking for a new deal and the talks in that regard have been non-existent since the All-Star break.

He'll be getting another opportunity to prove himself tonight!
