Hansen has been a healthy scratch for the last six games but will draw back in tonight vs. the Lightning—he takes Kevin Labanc's spot in the lineup. Hansen has just one assist in seven games this season.

Hansen recorded his first assist of the season on Saturday, but will come out of the lineup tonight in New York. Hansen’s one-point in seven games is a big disappointment for the Sharks, so he will be replaced by Joel Ward tonight.

Hansen left Saturday’s game in the third period and did not return. There is no word how Hansen suffered the injury, but he remains questionable for tonight’s game in Dallas. Hansen has just one assist in six games with the Sharks despite playing on the top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.

Hansen was acquired from Vancouver on Tuesday and could have had a chance to play his former team right away on Thursday, but will not be available due to a work visa issue.

Hansen spent the first nine and a half seasons of his NHL career with the Canucks after being drafted by them in 2004. Hansen had a career-high 22 goals last year, but has been hampered by injuries this season—he has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 28 games and heads to San Jose where he will likely land a bottom-6 role.

Hansen is a potential trade piece for the Canucks, so scratching him the day before the deadline makes a lot of sense. Borna Rendulic will replace Hansen in the lineup.

Hansen has been out since December 22nd, but could return on Saturday vs. the Wild. Hansen rotated in on Brandon Sutter’s line in Wednesday’s practice and has nine points (5G / 4A) in 18 games this season.

Hansen missed the Canucks final game before the Christmas break and will miss at least one month with a knee injury that he suffered last Thursday. Hansen previously missed 16 games this season and the injury bug has bit the Canucks’ top-line winger yet again.

Hansen was injured on a hit during the Canucks’ physical contest in Toronto on Saturday. Hansen’s move to IR means that he will miss at least the next three games with an undisclosed injury. Hansen had been playing with the Sedin Twins, so his injury should see Loui Eriksson move back up.

Hansen will miss his eighth consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but it looks like he will return later in the week. Hansen has 19 goals and 13 assists (32 points) in 57 games this season.

Hansen left Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and then missed Friday’s practice which puts his status for Saturday’s game in serious doubt. With Hansen missing practice, Alex Burrows skated on the Canucks top line.

Hansen was expected to be in the lineup last night, but he ended up being held out of the lineup. He underwent a few more tests on Tuesday and has been cleared to return to the lineup on Sunday in Anaheim.
