Canucks' Ryan Spooner: Aiming to return next week
Ryan Spooner disclosed to Colin Stephenson of Newsday on Thursday that he's aiming to return to the lineup by the end of next week.Spooner's timetable was rather open-ended, but he has put a target date on the map. After weak showings with both the Rangers (two points in 16 games) and Oilers (three points in 25 games), Spooner may have finally found a home with the Vancouver Canucks. Through six games with his new club, Spooner has racked up three assists. He remains under contract for the remainder of the year and next season and should get ample opportunity to prove his worth on a Vancouver squad that has fallen out of the playoff picture.

Canucks' Ryan Spooner: In doubt Wednesday
Ryan Spooner is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is questionable against Toronto on Wednesday.Spooner remains bogged down in an 18-game goal drought that extends back to his time with the Oilers, but has managed to tally three helpers in six games with the Vancouver Canucks. The Ottawa native is enjoying significantly more play time with Vancouver (12:33 compared to 9:40 in Edmonton), which likely explains his offensive uptick. If Spooner is unable to give it a go, Tyler Motte figures to slot into the lineup, while Tanner Pearson could get bumped up to the top line with Bo Horvat.
