Canucks' Derek Dorsett: Placed on injured reserve Monday

Dorsett (shoulder) was moved to injured reserve Monday, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.

Analysis:

Dorsett hurt his shoulder Saturday night against the Kings and didn't suit up Sunday in Anaheim. He'll be joined by fellow veteran Alex Burrows (neck) on IR, and the earliest each player will be able to return will come against the Canadiens on Nov. 2. Troy Stecher and Jayson Megna have been recalled from AHL Utica in their absence.
