Canucks' Andrey Pedan: Headed back to Utica

Pedan was reassigned to AHL Utica on Thursday.

Analysis:

Pedan wasn't able to snag a spot in the Vancouver lineup during this stint with the big club, so he'll head back down to the minors in favor of Jordan Subban. The 23-year-old blueliner is not known for his offensive prowess; in fact, he's never managed to record more than 21 points in any of his AHL seasons.
