79 Micheal Ferland LW

Ferland (concussion) is training and will be ready to go if the season resumes this summer. According to general manager Jim Benning, "he'd be at 100 percent and be able to come back and play," Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

Ferland was expected to miss the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign due to his concussion symptoms, but with the league going on hiatus, the winger appears set to return to the ice if the league picks back up. The Manitoba native has played in just two games since the end of October and will miss the 40-point mark for the first time since 2016-17 when he was with Calgary. If Ferland can put his injury concerns behind him, he should be capable of getting back to being a 35-40-point producer in 2020-21

Ferland is dealing with recurring concussion-like symptoms and will miss the rest of the season.

Ferland recently left Friday's conditioning game with AHL Utica with concussion-like symptoms, and as evidenced by this news, the setback was serious. The 27-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since Dec. 10 and will finish the season with five points in 14 games. Ferland is a prime candidate for long-term injured reserve, which would clear a roster spot and cap space for newly acquired Tyler Toffoli. Ferland will continue to be evaluated.

Ferland (upper body) left AHL Utica's game Friday with concussion-like symptoms.

The Canucks called the move precautionary. Ferland has been out since Dec. 10 with an upper-body injury. His previous injury was not called a concussion, but it has been severe enough to cost him two months already, and this latest setback suggests more missed time is on the way in the winger's long recovery.

Ferland (upper body) was sent to AHL Utica for a conditioning stint Tuesday.

Ferland spent a week with AHL Utica earlier this month on a conditioning stint but wasn't yet healthy enough to suit up for a game. This should rule him out for Wednesday's game against Chicago while he looks to get back to game shape in the minors.

Ferland (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning stint and skated with a no-contact jersey during Saturday's practice, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

Ferland hasn't played an NHL game since Dec. 10, and he didn't play a game during his conditioning stint with AHL Utica. The 27-year-old still needs a bit of time, but it's a positive sign that he's participating in practice. He'll sit out Saturday versus the Flames, but he could be back in the fold Monday versus Nashville.

Ferland (upper body) will head to AHL Utica for practice this week with plans to have him play in games before returning to the Canucks, Joey Kenward of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Ferland hasn't played in a game since Dec. 10 and that was just a two-game span following another month-long absence, so it's not surprising that the club will look to get him in some AHL action before he makes an appearance at the top level. Ferland has racked up five points over 14 contests this season, when available, and he should play a sizable role for Vancouver when healthy.

Coach Travis Green said after Monday's 3-1 win over the Blues that he doesn't expect Ferland (upper body) to travel to San Jose ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sharks, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.

Ferland hasn't quite made enough progress in his recovery from the upper-body injury to resume playing, so it sounds like his absence will extend into February. The winger has been on long-term injured reserve since mid-December.

Ferland (upper body) won't travel with the team for Tuesday's game versus Tampa Bay, but he could join the Canucks at some point during the five-game road trip.

Ferland is eligible to be activated from long-term injured reserve at any point, but he'll likely miss at least two more games. The 27-year-old winger is nearing a return at the very least.

Ferland (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Ferland met with a specialist Thursday, and his injury is severe enough to keep him out until Jan. 4 against the Rangers at the earliest. The 27-year-old has accrued five points through 14 games this year, as he's already missed 17 contests due to a concussion. The Canucks will be afforded $3.5 million in cap relief during Ferland's absence.

Ferland (upper body) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Ferland was scheduled to meet with a specialist Thursday regarding his most recent upper-body injury, but the Canucks have yet to release any details about the outcome of that appointment. An update on his condition should be released soon, but for the time being, Ferland should be considered out indefinitely.

Coach Travis Green indicated Thursday that Ferland (upper body) is visiting with a specialist.

Ferland has reportedly avoided a concussion after departing Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs with an upper-body issue, but he's apparently working through some symptoms. He will presumably miss Thursday's contest as a result and could be headed for additional time on the shelf if the symptoms don't resolve quickly.

Coach Travis Green said Ferland (upper body) isn't in concussion protocol but will meet with team doctors Wednesday.

Ferland was playing in his second game since returning from a concussion during Tuesday's loss to the Maple Leafs, but he exited after just 4:12 of ice time. It's positive news that the 27-year-old winger didn't suffer another concussion so close to his last one, but he's trending in the wrong direction for Thursday's matchup against the Hurricanes.

Ferland (upper body) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Ferland left the contest one shift into the second period. He produced three hits in 4:12 of ice time. Ferland has missed 17 games due to a concussion earlier in the season. It's unclear if this is a new issue for the winger -- he was playing in just his second game since returning from that concussion.

Ferland (concussion) will rejoin the lineup Saturday against the Sabres, Sportsnet 650 reports.

Ferland has only appeared in 12 games thus far due to injury but will make his 13th appearance Saturday. He was taken off the power-play unit a few games before leaving with an injury, so he may not hold a ton of fantasy value upon his return. Still, the winger owns five points through 12 games, making him an option in deeper formats.

Ferland (concussion) might be available for Saturday's clash with the Sabres, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Ferland has been limited to just 12 games this season due to his concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the winger had recorded one goal, four helpers and 31 hits while averaging 10:21 of ice time. The Manitoba native figures to take on a bottom-six role once given the all-clear.

Ferland (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

This is just a procedural move, as Ferland's placement is retroactive to his last appearance back on Oct. 30. Ferland will be eligible to return as soon as he's ready to play, though the winger is yet to go through a full contact practice.

Ferland is still in the NHL's concussion protocol ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, NHL.com's Wes Crosby reports.

Ferland linked up with the Canucks on Tuesday for the remainder of the team's road trip, but there's still no timeline for his return to game action. The 27-year-old winger will need to be activated off injured reserve before rejoining the lineup, so expect another update on his status once that occurs.

Ferland (concussion) will rejoin the team Tuesday.

Ferland has sat out the last 12 games, and he didn't travel with the team for its first three games on the road trip. The 27-year-old looks like he's approaching a return, however, and he'll aim to gear up Wednesday against the Flyers. Ferland will add a scoring touch to the bottom six once he's ready, as he's rung up five points and 31 hits through 12 games.

Ferland (concussion) didn't travel for Tuesday's road game against the Stars.

This matchup against the Stars marks the first of six straight road games for the Canucks. It's possible Ferland joins the team at some point on the trip, otherwise, he'll target a return when Vancouver next plays at home Dec. 1 against the Oilers.

Ferland (concussion) is not expected to travel with the Canucks on their two-game road trip to Chicago and Winnipeg.

Ferland is on injured reserve but is eligible to return after having missed three games. If he doesn't travel, his first chance to return would be Sunday versus the Devils. However, concussions typically don't have a set timeline, so Ferland should be considered out indefinitely until he can take contact in practice sessions.
