The Vancouver Canucks announced today that Elias Lindholm is out with a bad wrist injury and Dakota Joshua is also dealing with a hand injury of his own.
Both Canuck players skated today prior to their game against the Ducks but Lindholm did not play as he seemed to be in pain just putting on his glove at practice.
Looked to be in discomfort just putting his glove on.
Fact someone with a wrist injury is skating isn't a big development.
Joshua skated while being out with his pinky injury.
Joshua ended up playing in today's game against the Ducks where he scored 2 goals including the game winning goal.
The 27 year-old winger has been playing surprisingly well this season as he currently has 28 points in 55 games for the Canucks.
Lindholm on the other hand, has been struggling since getting to Vancouver with only 9 points in 22 games. However, if his injury ends up being worse than expected this could mean trouble for the Canucks as we are rapidly approaching the playoffs.
