Ilya Mikheyev will return to the Canucks lineup Tuesday to make his Vancouver debut after missing their opening two games with a lower-body injury.

Bertuzzi will miss 4-to-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.
Bertuzzi left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, believed to be his hand, and will miss at least one month. Filip Zadina will draw into the lineup to replace Bertuzzi on Monday, and Dominik Kubalik will skate on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
Bertuzzi left Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.
Bertuzzi left after logging 8:14 TOI and registering an assist and two shots on goal. The Red Wings were off on Sunday, so there was no update on his status, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Kings.
Goalie Start
Knight will start Saturday afternoon in Buffalo.
Florida's prized young goaltender will take the crease for his first start of 2022-23. Signing a three-year, $13.5-million contract extension in the offseason, the 21-year-old will be looking to build off an up-and-down first full season in 2022-21, where he posted a .908 SV% and 2.79 GAA backing up the President Trophy winners.
Vlasic (undisclosed) will not play in the Blackhawks' season opener.
Vlasic was hurt while blocking a shot in practice last week and will miss the season opener but is "feeling much better," according to head coach Luke Richardson. Filip Roos will make his NHL debut in Vlasic's place.
The Canucks placed Ilya Mikheyev (lower-body) on IR.
Mikheyev was originally considered week-to-week after suffering a lower-body injury in the preseason. Despite being moved to IR, Mikheyev travelled with the team to Edmonton and may not be sidelined as long as initially feared.
The Blackhawks acquired Jason Dickinson and a 2024 second-round pick from the Canucks for Riley Stillman.
Dickinson, who had 11 points (5G / 6A) in 62 games with the Canucks last season, was going to be at the bottom of the Canucks lineup heading into 2022-23. With Tyler Myers banged up, the Canucks seemed to think they needed defensive depth more than the bottom-6 forward.
The Panthers have signed Spencer Knight to a three-year contract extension worth $13.5 million ($4.5M AAV).
Knight's new contract does not kick in until next season, he'll play 2022-23 in the final year of his ELC. The 21-year-old will open the season as the No.2 behind Sergei Bobrovsky but could fight for near equal usage. Last season he was 19-9-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .908 SV%.
The Blackhawks have signed Kevin Korchinski to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Kraken have re-signed Ryan Donato to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.
The Bruins have signed Ryan Mast to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Kraken have signed Andre Burakovsky to a five-year deal worth $27.5 million ($5.5M AAV).
The Canucks have signed Ilya Mikheyev to a four-year contract worth $19.0 million ($4.75M AAV).
Burakovsky (undisclosed) will not play in Game 3 in Tampa.
Burakovsky suffered an undisclosed injury in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and will not play in Game 3. Nicolas Aube-Kubel is expected to replace him in the lineup.
The Golden Knights have acquired Shea Weber from the Canadiens for Evgenii Dadonov.
Burakovsky will be a healthy scratch for Game 5 vs. St. Louis.
Anderson has been recalled from Toronto (AHL) and will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup on Friday.
Anderson leads the Marlies with 26 goals, adding 16 assists (42 points) in 55 games. The 23-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 57 career NHL games to date.
