Canucks head coach Adam Foote provided an update on Conor Garland's injury after he was seen on the ice today, and there's a chance he joins the team on the road.
Canucks left winger Conor Garland will not play Saturday in Toronto, according to The Athletic's Thomas Drance.
Garland has been out four games with an undisclosed injury and was unlikely to return to action until the Canucks' home game on January 17. Garland scored six goals with 22 points in 33 games played prior to his injury.
Still, there appear to be some bright spots as he has joined the team on the ice in Toronto.
