Canucks' Pius Suter: Dealing with upper-body issue
Suter is day-to-day after suffering an upper-body injury, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Wednesday.
Suter has scored at least 14 goals in each of his four NHL seasons despite having played for three different teams over that stretch. If he can get back to 100 percent and avoid any injury stretches, he should be a near-lock to reach the 30-point threshold considering he fell one point shy of that mark last year despite logging just 67 regular-season appearances.
