Canucks Await Update After Conor Garland Exits With Undisclosed Injury vs. Lightning

New signing David Kämpf is available to step in as Vancouver assesses its forward depth.

Overview

  • Conor Garland left early in the second period against Tampa Bay and did not return after an earlier fight with Darren Raddysh, with the cause of his injury still unclear.
  • The team expects more information before Tuesday’s game in Florida, creating a quick decision point for the back-to-back.
  • General manager Patrik Allvin said David Kämpf has joined the road trip and could make his Canucks debut as soon as Tuesday.
  • Garland has been logging top-line minutes with Elias Pettersson and Evander Kane and has 5 goals and 8 assists in 16 games while averaging a career-high 20:51 per night.
  • Allvin said Filip Chytil has resumed skating but is progressing slowly and Teddy Blueger remains week-to-week with a lower-body issue, deepening the club’s short-term challenges up front.
