The Vancouver Canucks have recalled forward Brendan Gaunce from the AHL’s Utica Comets.

Gaunce had been sent to Utica on a conditioning stint as he recovered from a shoulder injury.

The 23-year-old scored twice and added an assist in five games with the Comets.

The Canucks host the Detroit Red Wings on Monday.
