Patrik Allvin announced a roster move hours before the Canucks hit the ice against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Allvin announced that the forward Linus Karlsson had been sent down to the Abbotsford Canucks. The forward participated in his first three NHL games this year and he has yet to register a point:
General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Linus Karlsson has been assigned to Abbotsford (AHL).
This most likely confirms that Pius Suter is very close to making a return to the NHL. Per Tocchet's comment, the team will really feel the effect of his return. The one question however, will be to determine who will sit when he's finally ready, since the team's bottom six has been performing quite well as of late.
