Canucks’ Schenn out vs. Islanders with upper-body injury

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Luke Schenn will miss the team’s matchup on Thursday against the New York Islanders.

General manager Patrik Allvin announced prior to the game that Schenn sustained an upper-body injury and is day-to-day.

The blue liner played in the Canucks’ game on Wednesday night against the New York Rangers. He appeared in discomfort and had to leave the ice during the second period, though he eventually returned for the third.

The 33-year-old has three goals and 15 assists in 51 games this season and is rumoured as a potential moving piece for the Canucks ahead of the March 3 trade deadline.

Kyle Burroughs is expected to slot in to the Canucks’ lineup as his replacement.
