Canucks' Vrbata back in lineup after 2-game absence
Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports
Vancouver Canucks forward Radim Vrbata (groin) is back in the lineup Sunday against the New Jersey Devils after missing the last two games.
Analysis:
Vrbata had what was termed a minor groin issue, but slots back into the lineup Sunday. Sven Bartschi appears the likely candidate to sit in Vrbata's place, which would probably place the winger alongside Chris Higgins and Jared McCann on the third line.
