Breaking: Key player returns to the lineup tonight!
KeyStone Press

The Vancouver Canucks announced some good news today in the hours leading up to the team's matchup against the San Jose Sharks.

Loui Eriksson was expected to be out for 4 to 6 weeks after spraining his knee, and will make his return a little early.

Eriksson has only played 4 games for the Canucks this season, putting up a single assist. He had a career-low season last year, putting up only 24 points. It was his lowest total since his rookie season in 2006-07.

The hope is that he can find his scoring touch again - he is only 2 years removed from a 30 goal year.

Jake Virtanen and Brendan Gaunce will sit tonight.
