Canucks winger Samuelsson to miss up to 3 weeks

Hockey Betting Lines

03/17/2010 -

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -Canucks winger Mikael Samuelsson will be out up to three weeks with an undisclosed upper body injury during Tuesday night's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Samuelsson left during the third period of a contest that also saw his seven-game point streak come to an end. The 33-year-old had seven of his nine goals during that span in the five games since being moved onto the Canucks' No. 1 line with fellow Swedes Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

``He's been playing really well,'' Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. ``Obviously he was contributing to our success and it's something we'll have to deal with.''

Samuelsson signed a three-year, $7.5-million free agent deal in Vancouver last summer after four seasons in Detroit. He has already set career highs with 30 goals and 53 points.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
