Canucks' Anton Rodin: Strength training for 4-6 weeks

Rodin (knee) has yet to resume skating and is currently participating in a 4-to-6 week strength program, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province and Sun reports.

Rodin began the season on IR after he reported soreness and swelling in his surgically repaired knee and it appears he's still a ways away from a return. The right winger is known to be a playmaker, evidenced by his plus-one point per game for Brynas IF Gavle in the Swedish League last season, but he has yet to make his debut in the NHL.
