Canucks’ Sbisa week to week with apparent arm injury

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Luca Sbisa is considered week to week with an upper-body injury, head coach Willie Desjardins announced Tuesday.

The blue-liner was hurt during Monday's game against the Winnipeg Jets after being hit into the boards by forward Adam Lowry. Sbisa left the game, and was seen with a sling on his left arm following the Jets 5-2 win.

Desjardins added that forward Markus Granlund is day to day after he suffered an upper-body injury of his own Monday. The team recalled forward Brendan Gaunce and defenseman Andrey Pedan from its AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, to take their places.
