Canucks Defense Hurting

from the Vancouver Province,
Rory Fitzpatrick is the latest victim of this bad-luck flu cocktail. The defenceman was injured, or caught the flu, sometime late in Game 2 in Anaheim.
He remains doubtful tonight for Game 3. As does Sami Salo who hurt his lower back, or caught the flu, in the Dallas series when he was slew-footed by Ladislav Nagy.
Kevin Bieksa, who skated on his own Saturday, said he can finally see “light at the end of the tunnel” recovering from what is believed to be an upper rib or shoulder injury.
But the light is still a ways off and the best-case estimate has Bieksa coming back only at the end of this series with the Ducks.
“I can’t tell you exactly who is in and who’s out right now because I don’t know,” Vigneault said. “Right now, I’m not sure what our defence is going to look like.”
