Brandon Sutter<\/a> Out with Another Injury for Vancouver<\/h2>\n

Sutter has been dealing with a lot of injuries over the current campaign. The Huntington, New York native suffered a shoulder injury back in October and returned after the New Year against the Canadiens<\/a> in Montreal. He has played in 13 games with the Canucks in total since his return. He has collected just one goal and one assist in that time. Sutter logged 18:06 of ice-time versus the Flames on Saturday, but was missing from practice on Monday.<\/p>\n

There is no timetable for his return as it’s an undisclosed lower-body injury. Sutter is not experiencing great season in Vancouver. The 29-year-old center has recorded only four goals and six points in 26 games so far this year.<\/p>\n

What This Means for The Future<\/h3>\n

Before his injury, Brandon Sutter has been playing as a third line center for the Vancouver Canucks. Sutter centered Jake Virtanen<\/a> <\/strong>and Antoine Roussel<\/a><\/strong>. Fortunately for the Canucks, they already have plenty of depth on the center position. Bo Horvat<\/a><\/strong> is currently the top-line centre and Calder Trophy favourite Elias Pettersson <\/a><\/strong>is the second-line pivot, Markus Granlund<\/a> <\/strong>took Sutter’s spot in the most recent game against the Sharks. In addition to that, Jay Beagle<\/a> <\/strong>is a solid fourth line center.<\/p>\n

Iin their first game without services of Sutter, Vancouver lost 7-2 against San Jose. However, the Canucks are presently just two points away from the last playoff spot held by the Minnesota Wild<\/a>.<\/p>\n
