News: Edler has been suspended for the remainder of the IIHF World Championships for his knee-to-knee hit on Eric Staal, the Vancouver Province reports. [+]

News: Schneider revealed that it was a groin injury that kept him out of action for the final two games of the regular season and the first two games of the postseason, the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: Schneider was able to return to the net for the final two games of the Canucks first-round loss to the Sharks. He was somewhat rusty in those two appearances, but Schneider did appear to be over his groin injury. The Canucks finally handed over the No. 1 goaltending job to Schneider this past season and he seized the opportunity by going 17-9-4 with a 2.11 goals-against average and .927 save percentage. The odds are Roberto Luongo will be traded this offseason, opening up the door for even more starts for Schneider next season. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 10, 2013) |
News: Hansen suffered a sprained right shoulder in the series-clinching loss to the Sharks, the Vancouver Sun reports. [+]
Impact: The injury makes Hansen unavailable to play for the Danish national team in the world championships. He's expected to be full recovered within a month, so there shouldn't be any lingering issues with this injury heading into the 2013-14 season. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 10, 2013) |
