Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Adam Foote Issues Update on Conor Garland After Leaving Sunday's Game

The injury bug has been a bit of an issue for the Vancouver Canucks this season, with several players still on the sidelines including goaltender Thatcher Demko, who is out week-to-week according to General Manager Patrik Allvin.

While Vancouver was able to get Quinn Hughes back from injury on Sunday afternoon after he missed one game for undisclosed reasons, Adam Foote's group also lost yet another key player, this time forward Conor Garland, who has already spent time on the sidelines this season due to an UBI sustained in late October.

As the Canucks took to the ice for warmup on Monday night, there was no sign of Conor Garland and Adam Foote provided an update to reporters on the 29-year-old winger.

According to Adam Foote, Conor Garland was unable to suit up for Monday's game against the Florida Panthers due to an undisclosed injury and is listed as day-to-day.

Foote went on to add that Garland tweaked something, likely in his fight against Darren Raddysh of the Tampa Bay Lightning, but they don't believe the issue is too serious nor will it keep him out for long.

Garland's status for Thursday night's contest against the Dallas Stars is up in the air at the moment, with the Canucks expected to skate tomorrow after traveling back to Vancouver on Tuesday.

The Scituate, Massachusetts native has been an important piece for the Vancouver Canucks this season, registering 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 17 games and hopefully he'll be back on the ice and in game action sooner rather than later as the club looks to remain in the playoff mix in the Western Conference.
