The Vancouver Canucks will be without Alex Burrows on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens, but the forward could be back Wednesday in Winnipeg.

Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins said Burrows, who returned to Vancouver on Sunday for the birth of his third child, won't face the Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

Burrows will be in Winnipeg for the final game of the Canucks' seven-game road trip against the Jets on Wednesday night, TVA's Renaud Lavoie reports.
