Canucks' Teddy Blueger: Clear to play

Blueger (undisclosed) will play Friday versus the Blackhawks, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

Blueger missed the first four games of the season due to the undisclosed issue. The 31-year-old is slated to replace Aatu Raty on the third line for Friday's contest. Moving forward, Blueger is likely to fill a role as a defensive center in the bottom six.
