Breaking: Canucks make a game day roster move

The Vancouver Canucks announced this morning that injured goaltender Anders Nilsson, who has been out with a broken finger, has been activated off the injured reserve and will back up starter Jacob Markstrom tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.

As a result, the team has demoted Richard Bachman to the AHL’s Utica Comets.

Bachman has been re-assigned to @UticaComets, said Coach Green. Nilsson will back-up tonight.

The top prospect has been dealing with a concussion sustained in the preseason and has yet to play a game in the NHL or the AHL this season. Here’s hoping he can find his form in Utica and prove that he’s worthy of NHL starts later this season.
