The Vancouver Canucks will be without forward Loui Eriksson for the remainder of the season as he deals with a fractured rib, head coach Travis Green announced Thursday.
Eriksson has only suited up in 50 games in 2017-18, in which he's recorded 10 goals and 13 assists. He also missed four weeks from mid-October because of a knee sprain.
The 32-year-old is in the second season of a six-year, $36-million contract he signed with the Canucks in 2016.
