Vancouver Canucks defenceman Erik Gudbranson will miss Saturday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers with back spasms, the team announced.
Gudbranson, 26, has one goal and three points this season with the Canucks. He missed time earlier in the season with an upper-body injury but returned to the lineup on Dec. 19.
He has also been the subject of trade rumours, with the Toronto Maple Leafs being named as a potential match.
