The Vancouver Canucks defenseman has been sidelined since Nov. 12 after suffering a left ankle injury in a game against the Montreal Canadiens.
The 29-year-old native of Viking, Alberta was just starting to settle into his role with his new team, having played 13 games with the Canucks after being lured away as a free agent from the Seattle Kraken this past off-season.
