The Vancouver Canucks' season isn't over just yet, but it is for an injured trio.
Brandon Sutter, Alex Edler, and Radim Vrbata have each been ruled out for the remainder of the season with their respective injuries, coach Willie Desjardins told reporters Monday.
Sutter suffered a broken jaw in February. He'll be limited to just 20 games in his debut season with the Canucks after being sidelined previously by a sports hernia.
Edler suffered a fibula fracture in the same game that felled Sutter. The top-pairing defenseman collected 20 points and led all Canucks skaters in average ice time, logging almost 24 1/2 minutes in his 52 games.
Lastly, Vrbata labored through a trying second season in Vancouver. He was limited to 27 points in 63 games after scoring 31 goals and 63 points the year prior.
