The Canucks have been dealing with a good load of injuries since the season started, and Carson Soucy has already spent his fair share of time in the infirmary.
A few days before the Christmas break, it was revealed that the veteran had resumed skating by himself. However, a leaked picture from the Canucks' practice today showed that Soucy was skating with the team. In a regular colored jersey, which suggests that Soucy could be close to a return:
''Carson Soucy is on the ice for morning skate with his #Canucks teammates. @Sportsnet650''
Soucy's return will spark an interesting debate amongst the team's defensive pairings. Hughes and Hronek will surely remain the team's top pairing, but who will be Ian Cole's partner out of Nikita Zadorov, Tyler Myers and Carson Soucy?
