The centre could practise Wednesday and may play Thursday when the Vancouver Canucks host the Detroit Red Wings.
Nic Petan has been summoned from the Canucks’ American Hockey League affiliate in Abbotsford to slot between Vasily Podkolzin and Alex Chiasson against New Jersey on Tuesday. The hope is that the well-travelled Delta, B.C., native will provide speed and experience. Matthew Highmore played centre Sunday, but is better suited as a winger on the fourth line.
J.T. Miller, who was riding a career-high, 12-game explosion with 24 points (8-16), vowed to get the forecheck in check so the Canucks can start smartly in another must-win game to remain in the playoff positioning race.
