Breaking: Canucks rocked by more injuries

In case you missed it, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Chris Tanev took a nasty hit from Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf that forced him from the game.

Here’s the play in question:



Tanev left the game for treatment but so far the team has yet to comment on his status.

Canucks insider Jeff Paterson though uncovered this little tidbit ahead of tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Kings… the Canucks have officially placed Tanev on the injured reserve

Check it out:



Are you KIDDING ME!? So with Tanev out… Alex Edler already out… this team is going to ice a top defence pairing of Ben Hutton and Troy Stecher… yikes. To be fair, both of those players have been great in recent months, but they can hardly be counted on to lead the team down the stretch drive and into the playoffs. Here’s hoping both Tanev and Edler can heal up and get back into the lineup ASAP.
