Huge loss for Vancouver
Canucks' Manny Malhotra out for season
Vancouver Canuck forward Manny Malhotra will miss the rest of the season due to the eye injury he sustained in a game last week, the club announced Monday.
“Following an initial procedure and continued treatment it has been determined through consultation with team doctors and specialists that Manny Malhotra will not return to the Canucks lineup for the remainder of this regular season and playoffs,” the Canucks said in a news release.
Malhotra, 30, was injured during Wednesday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche when a puck hit him in the left eye. He underwent surgery, but the Canucks have not released the specific injury Malhotra sustained. The team said in an email Monday that it would have no further comment.
Malhotra, like his stops in Columbus and San Jose, was respected in the locker room in Vancouver. He’s a faceoff specialist and was one of the Canucks top penalty killers this season. He had 11 goals and 19 assists this season.
