Things keep getting worse for the Vancouver Canucks. The team lost its second straight Wednesday night, are now 4-6-0 in their last ten, and are without their head coach John Tortorella due to suspension. Henrik Sedin remains out with a rib injury, alongside and Chris Tanev, . Now staring down a five-game road trip to close out their schedule before the break, the Canucks got more bad news on the injury front Thursday. Carmelo Anthony Jersey The blue line took another hit as Kevin Bieksa . The injury is undisclosed, but Bieksa has . He is out indefinitely. Even worse, forward Mike Santorelli has undergone shoulder surgery and . Santorelli had been a nice find. A guy who scored 20 goals in 2010-11 for Florida and just 11 in the three years following, the 28 year old had picked up 10 scores and a sisted on 18 more in 49 games this season. He suffered the shoulder injury against the Coyotes on January 16 and had not played since. Is Santorelli a guy whose individual lo s will break a teams season? Of course not. Neither is Bieksas or Tanevs. But all of them together, combined Sedins absence and Tortorellas suspension to boot? Thats a tough mountain to overcome. For a team struggling before these problems began to pile up, that Olympic break has to look very appealing. In theory, all of their mi sing pieces, sans Santorelli, will be back in action when the Canucks return to the ice on February 26. The Canucks just have to hope their season doesnt go up in smoke before then. DeMarcus Cousins Jersey
