Canucks' Brandon Sutter: Scores in return from injury

Sutter netted a goal against Nashville in his first game back from an abdominal injury Tuesday.

He'd been out since Nov. 10, but with Henrik Sedin (undisclosed) currently unavailable, Sutter is for all intents and purposes Vancouver's top center for the moment; it was Daniel Sedin who got the primary helper on his goal. Tuesday's contest was just the 17th outing for the 27-year-old in his first season with the Canucks, but he's been reasonably effective when healthy, tallying five goals and four helpers on the year.
