Joshua (testicular cancer) has resumed skating and is likely a few weeks away from returning, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday.

Joshua underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September, and the Canucks have been hopeful that he'll be able to return to action this season. It's encouraging that he's been back on the ice recently, but he'll likely need to ramp up before he's in the mix to return to game action. The 28-year-old made 63 regular-season appearances for Vancouver last year and logged 18 goals and 32 points while averaging 14:23 of ice time.
