Tanev Out 3-4 Weeks, Richardson Returns

Steady Canucks defenceman Chris Tanev will miss 3-4 weeks after a Steven Stamkos shot broke his finger.  This likely means "done for the season." Yannick Weber will slot in as the full time 6th defenceman.  Andrew Alberts is still out with a concussion.

The Canucks' slumping penalty kill gets a much-needed boost tonight as Brad Richardson returns to the lineup for the first time since D-day.  He was out with an upper-body injury.  He will likely center David Booth and Zack Kassian.
