Hamhuis (face) won't return to action Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Analysis:

Hamhuis was reevaluated Wednesday, which apparently revealed that the 33-year-old blueliner still isn't quite ready to return to game action. The former first-round pick is currently on injured reserve, meaning the Canucks should announce his activation once he's fit to play.
