Canucks' Radim Vrbata: Will return Sunday

Vrbata (groin) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Devils, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.

Vrbata missed the last two games with what was termed a minor groin issue, but will slot back into the lineup Sunday. Sven Bartschi appears the likely candidate to sit in Vrbata's place, which would probably place the winger alongside Chris Higgins and Jared McCann on the third line.
