Sutter (upper body) will miss Monday's game against Edmonton, Farhan Lalji of TSN.ca reports.

It's unclear when Sutter sustained the injury but he'll come out of the lineup as a result. The bottom-six center won't need to wait long for his next opportunity to see game ice, as the Oilers and Canucks will run it back again Tuesday.

Sutter scored two goals and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Sutter put the Canucks on the board at 5:33 of the second period. In the third, he capped their rally with an empty-netter. The 32-year-old has eight goals, two assists, 61 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 37 contests this year. Sutter primarily works in a bottom-six role, which will often limit his effectiveness on offense.

Sutter cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

Sutter is poised to occupy a bottom-six role Friday against the Oilers. He's tallied eight points while posting a minus-7 rating in 35 games this campaign.

The Canucks now have 14 players in COVID-19 protocols after adding six to the list Saturday. Their next scheduled game is Thursday against the Flames, but that could end up being postponed. Sutter has registered six goals and two helpers through 35 games this year.

This will be the first game that Sutter has missed all season, and it's unclear what he's dealing with. The veteran center has eight points and a minus-7 rating through 35 games. He'll be day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's rematch with the Jets.

Sutter set up the opening goal in Monday's win over Ottawa.

The helper was just his second of the season, and snapped a six-game point drought. Sutter has eight points in 32 contests.

Sutter scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Sutter opened the scoring 3:38 into the contest as the Canucks controlled the first period. After his goal, it was a battle between the superstars for the two teams. Sutter is up to six goals in 22 appearances this season. He's added 39 shots on net and a minus-3 rating, but he doesn't play much of a physical game and hasn't found much consistency, as half of his scoring came in a 7-1 win over the Senators on Jan. 25, when he netted a hat trick.

Sutter notched an empty-net goal and won eight of nine faceoffs in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Sutter added the insurance tally after Loui Eriksson picked off a Flames pass and set Sutter up. The goal was Sutter's fifth of the season, but he hadn't recorded a point in nine games after his hat trick versus the Senators on Jan. 25. The 32-year-old forward has just five goals, 32 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 18 contests.

Sutter has been held off the scoresheet in Vancouver's past nine games.

After scoring his first career hat trick, Sutter hasn't been able to generate any offense. He has four goals and no helpers through 17 contests. While he isn't expected to be a primary source of offense, he's producing at a lower pace than last year's 17 points in 44 games.

Sutter posted a hat trick in Monday's 7-1 win over the Senators.

Sutter opened the scoring at 9:31 of the first period. He added a shorthanded tally in the second period and a breakaway goal in the final minute of the third. It was Sutter's first career hat trick. The 32-year-old has four goals, 16 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in eight contests. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this from Sutter -- his career high in goals is 21, and he fills a bottom-six role for the Canucks.

Sutter scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Sutter's third-period goal came with the game already firmly in the Canadiens' control. It's still an encouraging sign for the 32-year-old center, who failed to record a point in the first five games of the year. Sutter has added 11 shots on goal and four hits in six outings -- a bottom-six forward, he has little appeal in most fantasy formats.

Sutter posted an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6.

Sutter earned the secondary helper on Bo Horvat's empty-net tally. The assist was Sutter's first point in six games in the second-round series. He's at a goal, five assists, 20 hits and 18 shots on goal through 16 playoff appearances.

Sutter registered three assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blues in Game 6.

Sutter had a hand in goals by Antoine Roussel, Troy Stecher and Tyler Motte in the contest. It's a rare burst of offense from Sutter, who had just two points in nine postseason games entering Friday. The 31-year-old should continue to see time in a bottom-six role, which will limit his opportunities on offense.

Sutter posted an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.

Sutter helped out on Tyler Motte's second goal of the contest, which ended up as the game-winner. Through nine games, Sutter has a goal, an assist, 13 shots and 10 hits in the playoffs. He's not likely to attract much fantasy attention in a bottom-six role.

Sutter notched a goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Wild in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

Sutter deflected a Quinn Hughes shot in the second period to help the Canucks cut the deficit to 3-2 at the time. With Adam Gaudette (undisclosed) out, Sutter has seen time as the third-line center. The 31-year-old pivot's goal was his only point in the series -- he added nine shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating.

Sutter (undisclosed) is on the ice for practice Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Sutter skated as an extra forward during Saturday's practice, so it appears as though the Canucks are planning on easing him back in. The 31-year-old forward notched eight goals and 17 points in 44 games during the regular season.

According to coach Travis Green, Sutter missed practice Wednesday because he was "unfit to play."

Sutter was likely just given a day off after being a full participant at the first two days of training camp. The 31-year-old pivot notched eight goals and 17 points in 44 games during the regular season.
