Canucks get bad news before 7 game road trip.

The Vancouver Canucks announced via the team's official twitter that they expect to be without winger Zack Kassian for a few weeks. Vancouver Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins commented on the injury and brushing it off as just "a finger thing." Kassian suffered the injury Tuesday night against the Devils when he was the victim of a slash to the hand. As a result Kassian will  miss all 7 games of a tough road trip that begins tomorrow in Columbus, Ohio and won't see the Canucks play another home game until mid December.
