Brannstrom has been scratched in five of the Canucks' last eight games after sitting out Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Brannstrom played a significant role early in the season as Derek Forbort was out due to a personal situation and a knee injury. Now that Forbort is healthy, Brannstrom's playing time has dropped as the two defensemen compete for one spot on the third pairing. The 25-year-old has seven points, 29 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 26 appearances in his first year with the Canucks.
