Ronald Kenins was recalled from AHL Utica on Thursday.

Kenins was recalled from AHL Utica on Thursday.

Analysis:

Derek Dorsett (neck) appears unlikely to play Friday against the Sabres, so it appears Kenins will take his spot on the Canucks' fourth line during the game. Prior to joining Utica this season, the 23-year-old Kenins had played all of his hockey in Europe. He seems to have adapted well to the North American game, notching 12 points and 23 PIM in 36 games for the AHL squad.
