It's an ACL surgery that had the best of him, but his agent, Dan Milstein, gave a positive update earlier during the week. For the first time in a while, a Canucks' injured player did not suffer a setback and according to the timeline that was previously set for him, everything is on track.
His return will be crucial for the Canucks since he was a part of one of the most lethal 5 on 5 lines in the NHL when lined up with Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko. The left-winger inked a four year-deal during the Summer of 2022, in his first season with Canucks he was out for 46 games in which he collected 28 points.
