Vancouver Canucks forward Sven Baertschi has a separated shoulder that will likely cost him the rest of his season, head coach Travis Green confirmed Sunday.
Baertschi was injured Friday night during Vancouver's contest against the Nashville Predators when he took a hard hit from Nashville rearguard Alexei Emelin. He left the game and did not return.
The injury is the latest setback for the struggling Baertschi, who already missed significant time this year with a fractured jaw.
Through 53 games, he registered 14 goals and 15 assists in 15:36 of ice time per night.
