The cavalry is on its way for the Vancouver Canucks. Captain Roberto Luongo is close to making his way back into the Canucks lineup and is targeting to see action either on Tuesday in St. Louis or Thursday in Detroit. The Canucks feel they are solid in goal for the time being after strong play from Andrew Raycroft and Cory Schneider which is why a Thursday start is more likely for Luongo, to avoid rushing him back from a case of the flu and his recovery from a hairline rib fracture.
Daniel Sedin has been skating hard and is coming off an intense practice which saw the elite winger experience some soreness in the injured toe but stated that it was not a step backwards and that he feels he will need to play through some discomfort for a few games upon his return.
Daniel will most likely not play Tuesday against the Blues but will be questionable for the Canucks in Motown on Thursday.
Winger Jannik Hansen also has a shot at making his season debut for the Canucks after a training camp injury forced the Danish winger into the press box for a few months. Hansen's status will be decided closer to game time in St. Louis.
