Dakota Joshua Out Week-To-Week
23 hours agoVancouver Canucks forward Dakota Joshua (leg) is considered week-to-week. The team placed him on Injured Reserve on Monday. Joshua suffered a leg injury in Friday's matchup against Nashville. Following a breakout campaign in 2023-24, Joshua has struggled to meet expectations this term after missing the start of the season due to tumor surgery. The 28-year-old has posted four points (two goals, two assists) in 24 games, along with 83 hits. Jonathan Lekkerimaki has been recalled from the minors and will replace Joshua in the lineup on Monday against Montreal. Lekkerimaki is a highly-rated prospect, but his first stint in the NHL wasn't very productive earlier in the season, as the 20-year-old winger produced one goal with seven shots in five appearances.
