Sam Gagner is headed back to the NHL.
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled the veteran forward from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, the team announced Sunday.
Gagner was waived by the Canucks on Oct. 1 and loaned to the Marlies one day later.
The 29-year-old produced seven goals and 15 points in 15 AHL games this season.
Gagner carries a $3.15-million cap hit after Vancouver inked him to a three-year, $9.45-million deal in July 2017.
