LATEST | The Canucks have now confirmed it for Dakota Joshua and his injury
The Canucks didn't add any new faces on deadline day, but the return of a familiar face could be on its way soon.
According to Brendan Batchelor, GM Patrik Allvin says Dakota Joshua is getting closer to a return and could be back in the lineup in two weeks or less.
The big forward's injury status hasn't been made official, but he's believed to have broken his hand in a fight against Blackhawks' Mackenzie Entwistle in February.
The team has missed his physical presence and depth scoring, and it will welcome his return for the final push towards the playoffs as it looks to hang on to the #1 spot in a western conference that got much, much stronger over the last couple of days.
