The Vancouver Canucks' goalie depth took a bit of a hit Tuesday.
Joacim Eriksson has agreed to terms on a deal with Dinamo Riga of the KHL, according to Igor Eronko of Sports.ru.
The 25-year-old made 41 appearances for the AHL's Utica Comets this past season - posting a save percentage of .908 - with one career game in the NHL to his credit.
The Canucks are believed to be shopping Eddie Lack or Jacob Markstrom in a trade, meaning 2009 sixth-round draft pick Joe Cannata could be pressed into NHL action sooner than later.
