Canucks' Linus Karlsson: Drops down to minors

Karlsson was demoted to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Karlsson has registered one goal, seven shots and five hits during his recent six-game stint in the NHL. It's possible the Canucks will bring the 25-year-old center back up to the main roster ahead of Tuesday's game against Colorado -- though Jonathan Lekkerimaki could also be an option.
