Canucks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The big news around the Canucks going into Monday's game in Columbus involved goaltending, but it had nothing to do with whether veteran Curtis Sanford or hotshot rookie Cory Schneider would start against the Blue Jackets.
Instead, the unexpected return of Roberto Luongo—to practice, at least—caused a big stir in Ohio as the Canucks' top player took to the ice in full gear at the tail end of the morning skate. While he's still not sure how long he'll be out, Luongo's return just nine days after a scary-looking groin pull was a good sign.
"I'm excited," Luongo said of his first time on skates since the Nov. 22 injury, which had most thinking he'd be out a month. |

Huselius scores late to give Blue Jackets win (AP)
Rick Nash made the play of the game. The rest was up to Steve Mason and the defense.

Canucks G Roberto Luongo out with groin strain (AP)
Roberto Luongo has a strained groin muscle and the Vancouver Canucks' star goalie is expected to be sidelined at least a week -- maybe longer. A two-time Vezina Trophy finalist, Luongo was injured five minutes into Saturday's 3-1 victory at Pittsburgh and didn't put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the ice by teammates.

Sedins, Demitra lift Canucks past Penguins 3-1 (AP)
An injury to Roberto Luongo put a chill into the Vancouver Canucks' hot streak. The two-time Vezina Trophy finalist hurt his groin less than five minutes into Vancouver's game against Pittsburgh on Saturday, but Pavol Demitra scored twice and Daniel and Henrik Sedin had three points each in the Canucks' 3-1 win over the Penguins.

Canucks' Luongo injured (AP)
Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo left the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday with an apparent left leg injury. Luongo, a two-time NHL All-Star, was injured while making what appeared to be a routine save on a shot by Philippe Boucher about 5 minutes into the game. He slowly collapsed to the ice and was assisted off while favoring his left leg. |
