Just when you thought the Canucks injury woes couldn't get any worse, Roberto Luongo goes down with a hairline fracture on his rib, and will be out of action for at least a week. Luongo originally injured the rib in a win against the Leafs on Saturday, but was able to suck it up for their next game versus the Oilers. He re-injured it sometime during last night's loss to the Red Wings and an MRI this morning revealed the fracture.Vancouver has called up Corey Schneider from the farm and Andrew Raycroft is expected to get the nod on Thursday in Los Angeles.
The Canucks have the most injuries in the NHL right now with Luongo joining Daniel Sedin, Sami Salo, Kyle Wellwood, Pavol Demitra, Ryan Johnson and Janik Hansen on the shelf.
