Stanton (lower body) will not play Thursday against the Canadiens, Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province reports.

Analysis:

It sounded like Stanton would have a shot at returning Thursday after coach Willie Desjardins proclaimed him "very close" earlier in the week, but the blueliner will instead sit for yet another game. He'll turn his sights toward returning over the weekend for either or both of the Canucks' back-to-back games against the Oilers and Predators.
